1, family genetic: hyperlipidemia exists a certain genetic tendency, if the patient's parents have a parent with hyperlipidemia, the chances of their own hyperlipidemia will also increase, most of the lesions appear in childhood.
2, bad habits: If you often overeat, eat too much greasy food, such as fried chicken, resulting in cholesterol, triglycerides and other lipids in the blood accumulation, usually less exercise, so that the blood viscosity increases, triggering high blood fat.
3, secondary diseases: such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, etc., diabetic patients with insufficient insulin secretion, resulting in excess blood sugar to other forms of metabolism, such as lipids, will cause the above situation. In hypothyroidism, the body secretes less thyroxine, which affects the metabolism of fat, and in Cushing's syndrome, the adrenal glands secrete more glucocorticoids, leading to metabolic disorders, which can occur.
In addition, if the patient often take contraceptives, especially long-acting contraceptives, which contain estrogen can affect the blood lipid level, long-term use of hormone level disorders and metabolic disorders in the body, resulting in elevated blood lipids.
