Latest Indian Guidelines for Dyslipidemia Management: A Biochemist’s Perspective

The recent lipid management guidelines emphasize using low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), and apo B levels as treatment targets. Out of these, LDL-C is the primary target of lipid management, non-HDL-C is the co-primary and ApoB is the seco...

description The recent lipid management guidelines emphasize using low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), and apo B levels as treatment targets. Out of these, LDL-C is the primary target of lipid management, non-HDL-C is the co-primary and ApoB is the secondary target. One-time estimation of lipoprotein(a) is sufficient presently to assess risk in view of the lack of specific drugs targeting it. Triglyceride levels ≥150 mg/dL in fasting and ≥175 mg/dL in non-fasting samples are considered risk modifiers for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Lipid profile estimation in a non-fasting sample is considered good enough to manage a dyslipidemia patient. The inclusion of risk group-specific target range of lipid profile in biochemistry report format shall be more informative and helpful in ensuring better patient compliance.
