Primary hyperlipidemia in children: clinical, biochemistry characteristics and outcome

Patients and methods From 2007 to 2013, 30 children with primary hyperlipidemia were recruited and were treated with diet and/or lipid-lowering drug therapy at the National Hospital of Pediatrics, Hanoi, Vietnam. Clinical symptoms and biochemical finding, outcome of treatment were studied. Results: Among 30 cases from 28 families, 8 patients were mixed hyperlipidemia (MHL), 13 patients were hyp...

Association of androgenetic alopecia and hyperlipidemia

Background an objective: Several studies have indicated that vertex type androgenetic alopecia have a higher-than-normal risk for coronary heart disease but few studies focused on lipid profiles which are important in the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease. This study was designed to investigate the relation between vertex type androgenetic alopecia (Grade III and higher according to ...

Editor Note – Biochemistry & Analytical Biochemistry

Biochemistry is the study of structures, functions and interactions of biomolecules, such as carbohydrates, nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, etc. and their metabolisms. Advancements in biochemistry helps in the advancement of different fields like agriculture, medicine, nutrition, etc., which are directly related to it. Combination of biochemical techniques with techniques and ideas of genetics...

Hyperlipidemia Panel

The Blueprint Genetics Hyperlipidemia Panel is ideal tool for genetic analysis of patients with virtually any type of monogenic (Mendelian inheritance) dyslipidemia disorder. All classical familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) genes (APOB, LDLR, LDLRAP1 and PCSK9) as well as genes associated with other hyperlipidemias such as ‘type 3 hyperlipidemia’ (APOE), sitosterolemia (ABCG5, ABCG8), lipoprote...
