Dyslipidemia

Treatment for unhealthy cholesterol and triglyceride patterns related to obesity and metabolic disease.

What is Dyslipidemia?

Have your cholesterol or triglyceride levels been outside the normal range? Dyslipidemia is a bariatric condition that should be evaluated by a bariatric provider.

Dyslipidemia refers to abnormal levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, or both. It commonly occurs alongside obesity, insulin resistance, fatty liver disease, and increased cardiovascular risk.

Common Symptoms

• Usually no symptoms early on
• Abnormal lipid panel results
• May occur with insulin resistance
• Can be associated with fatty liver disease
• Often found during routine screening

When to see a Bariatric provider

You should see a specialist if lipid levels stay abnormal despite treatment, occur with obesity or diabetes risk, or there is a strong family history of heart disease.

Early detection is important for managing the condition and preventing further complications.
