Hello, the main reasons for high cholesterol are as follows: 1. Improper diet. Eating too much food containing high cholesterol, such as heart, liver and other animal offal. Excessive cholesterol intake in the body causes high total cholesterol, which is also one of the reasons for high total cholesterol. 2. Damage to liver cells. The esterification of cholesterol is impaired and the blood cholesterol is reduced. In severe damage such as cirrhosis and severe hepatitis, the total blood cholesterol is also reduced. 3. Obstructive jaundice. At this time, due to the obstruction of bile excretion, lipoprotein-X appears in the blood and hypercholesterol synthesis in the liver is caused, with an increase in free cholesterol. Causes high total cholesterol, so obstructive jaundice is one of the causes of high total cholesterol.
