Furthermore, each primitive form could be caused by different genetic diseases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lack of knowledge of the mechanisms that cause primary hyperlipidemia has hitherto prevented a complete etiological classification of all these morbid forms, some of which are considered partly genetic, while others may originate in the absence of any genetic correlation (alternative: correlation) (so-called sporadic forms).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the purposes of treatment it is important to distinguish the primitive forms, treatable mainly via pharmacology with the aim of normalizing the levels of lipids circulating in the blood, from the secondary ones that are initially addressed by means of actions (diet, physical activity) aimed at intervention to tackle the causes of the pathology. If these interventions are not effective, there may be a further therapeutic strategy based on lipid-lowering drugs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In particular, for the pharmacological treatment of hypertriglyceridemia, mainly Omega-3 fatty acids are used, which, following a continuous intake, have been shown to reduce circulating triglyceride levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conversely, the drugs indicated for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia include: statins, fibrates, ion-exchange resins and ezetimibe. Among these, statins are certainly the most effective class in the reduction of LDL cholesterol and this treatment is made even stronger when combined with ezetimibe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PIAM, always attentive to the need for effective treatments that afford the greatest ease and safety of administration, offers a complete range of drugs and supplements for these clinical patterns.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3457,"template":"","categoria-patologia":[217],"class_list":["post-3456","patologia","type-patologia","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria-patologia-cardiometabolic"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Hyperlipidemia - PIAM farmaceutici s.p.a<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.piamfarmaceutici.com\/en\/patologia\/hyperlipidemia\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Hyperlipidemia - PIAM farmaceutici s.p.a\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hyperlipidemia consists in the increase of one or more fats (cholesterol, triglycerides) in the blood; since both cholesterol and triglycerides are fats, the term can refer to an increase in blood levels of one or both.
