Description

Lipidology is the study of cholesterol, in particular in finding treatments for high cholesterol and other lipid disorders.

This book is a comprehensive guide to lipidology for endocrinologists and trainees.

Divided into four sections, the text begins with an overview of the specialty, followed by discussion on clinical aspects - dietary issues and cardiovascular disease, lipid markers, good cholesterol, lipoproteins and more.

The next section covers therapeutic lipidology, from diet and exercise, to statins, HDL-targeted (high density lipoproteins), and evolving targets such as PCSK9 inhibitors (a type of medicine for lowering cholesterol in the blood).

The final section examines Dyslipidemia (an abnormal amount of lipids in the blood) in specific sectors of the population - children and adolescents, pregnant women, the elderly, in HIV patients, and in patients with chronic kidney disease.

The book is highly illustrated with clinical images and figures to assist learning.
