REMARKS Cholesterol : HDL

Average risk 4.5-7.1
Moderate risk 7.2-11.0
High risk >11.0
Note: 1.Measurements in the same patient can show physiological& analytical variations. Three
serial samples 1 week apart are recommended for Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL& LDL
Cholesterol
2. NLA-2014 identifies Non HDL Cholesterol(an indicator of all atherogenic lipoproteins such as LDL ,
VLDL, IDL, Lpa, Chylomicron remnants)along with LDL-cholesterol as co- primary target for
cholesterol lowering therapy. Note that major risk factors can modify treatment goals for LDL &Non
HDL.
3.Apolipoprotein B is an optional, secondary lipid target for treatment once LDL & Non HDL goals
have been achieved
4. Additional testing for Apolipoprotein B, hsCRP, Lp(a ) & LP-PLA2 should be considered among
patients with moderate risk for ASCVD for risk refinement
Comment
A variety of genetic conditions are associated with accumulation in plasma of specific class
of lipoprotein particles. The critical first step in managing lipid disorder is to determine the
class or classes of lipoprotein that are increased or decreased in a patient. Frederickson
classification can be helpful in this regard. The hyperlipidemic status should be evaluated to
determine if it is a primary lipoprotein disorder or secondary to metabolic disease. The
diagnosis of primary hyperlipidemia is made after secondary causes have been ruled out. It
is important to diagnose primary lipid disorder since the underlying etiology has significant
effect on development of CHD, on response to drug therapy, and on the management of
other family members.Type II b is the most commonly inherited lipid disorder, occurring in
approximately 1 in 200 persons.Familial hypertriglyceridemia (FHTG) is a relatively common
(1:500) autosomal dominant disorder of unknown etiology. It is important to consider & rule
out secondary causes of hypertriglyceridemia (Obesity, Type 2 DM, Alcoholism, Renal failure,
Cushing's syndrome etc.) before making the diagnosis of FHTG.

2. As per NCEP guidelines, all adults above the age of 20 years should be screened for lipid status.
Selective screening of children above the age of 2 years with a family history of premature
cardiovascular disease or those with at least one parent with high total cholesterol is recommended
