Overview

Dyslipidemia is common part of the metabolic syndrome. The typical lipid disorders are hypertrigylceridemia and low HDL-cholesterol. Elevation of small LDL3 and apolipoprotein B100 are also present in most patients. Weight reduction, diet and regular physical activity are the most effective way how to treat this type of dyslipoproteinemia. Before hypolipidemic drug therapy is started, type of dyslipidemia must be considered. Fibrates are recommended in patients with hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL-cholesterol. When high LDL-cholesterol is present, statin therapy is recommended. In some patients therapy with both fibrate and statin is needed to reach target lipid levels.

Key words:
dyslipidemia – metabolic syndrome – HDL-cholesterol – triglycerides – LDL3
