Q. Is there a particular group (ethnicity, sociological culture) that is predisposed for the condition of hyerlipidemia?
A. Yes; those with a family history of hyperlipidemia since predisposition rests equally on genetic and environmental factors and their interplay.
Another predisposition is use of oral contraceptives (OC) in women; and in people who use antihypertensives, retinoids, and/or hypolipidic agents.

Do you have hyperlipidemia or high cholesterol ? How old are you ?
Q. I'm in my mid-30's and my triglycerides and cholesterol are high. Please share your experience.
A. I'm 48 and mine were high, too. My doctor gave me three months to try to get it down on my own. I went on a no-fat diet...nothing fried, no red meat. no butter or margarine. Fish, nuts and olive oil are OK because they have the healthy kind of fat. Foods only steamed, grilled, etc. No more sauteed Chinese food! In three months, I got my total cholesterol down 100 points and triglycerides down 75 points, both now in a good range so I don't need medicine. You can do it! It does take discipline.....I didn't cheat. Also, I lost weight from this diet.
If someone has hyperlipidemia, how soon after a blood draw can you see the lipids in their blood?
Q. I'm doing a case study on a patient with hyperlipidemia, among other things, and I found a photo of a vial of blood showing the lipids sitting at the top of the vial. It states that this photo was taken 4 hrs after the blood was drawn & I'm wondering if it has to sit for that long to be visible?
A. It is correct as soon as the blood starts to separate and settle or clot and separate, which begins immediately in around a half an hour you have pretty good separation, but we don't spin the blood down for 30 minutes (not when you need to get a result out in an hour)-5-10 minutes is more like it.
