Høyt kolesterol (hyperlipidemi): Diagnosen
Måling av fettstoffer i blod er nødvendig for å påvise hyperlipidemi. Det betyr måling av totalkolesterol, HDL-kolesterol, LDL-kolesterol og triglyserider. Det er ikke nødvendig med faste før undersøkelsene, men fastende kontrollprøve kan være nødvendig ved høye triglyserider.
Siden hyperlipidemi inngår som en av flere risikofaktorer for hjerte-/karsykdom, vil legen også måle blodtrykk, måle vekt og kartlegge livsstil for å fastslå totalrisikoen. Det kan også være nødvendig med en mer utvidet undersøkelse, som å lytte på hjertet, lungene og måle sirkulasjon på beina.
Måling av blodprøven HbA1c gjøres for å se om det kan foreligge diabetes. I tillegg er det aktuelt å måle stoffskiftet, lever- og nyrefunksjon, og i noen tilfeller ta EKG. Ved mistanke om familiær hyperkolesterolemi (FH), er gentest aktuelt.
