Hyperlipidemia is diagnosed through blood tests that measure levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and triglycerides. Management of hyperlipidemia involves lifestyle modifications such as adopting a heart-healthy diet, increasing physical activity, and avoiding tobacco smoke. Pharmacological interventions may include statins, fibrates, and niacin, which help lower lipid levels. In the context of toxicological exposure, reducing or eliminating contact with harmful chemicals is crucial.
