Re: increased lipids on muscle biopsy

[Guest guest]

I personally haven't ever had increased lipids ( hyperlipidemia )

but here is some info I found.

What causes hyperlipidemia?

Most hyperlipidemia is caused by lifestyle habits or treatable

medical conditions. Lifestyle contributors include obesity, not

exercising, and smoking. Conditions that cause hyperlipidemia

include diabetes, kidney disease, pregnancy, and an underactive

thyroid gland.

You can also inherit hyperlipidemia. The cause may be genetic if you

have a normal body weight and other members of your family have

hyperlipidemia.

You have a greater chance of developing hyperlipidemia if you are a

man older than age 45 or a woman older than age 55. If a close

relative had early heart disease (father or brother affected before

age 55, mother or sister affected before age 65), you also have an

increased risk.

My first biopsy showed lipid drops in the muscle, but all of them

since then have not shown it. What this means, I haven't a clue.

Barbara,

thanks for the info. I didn't think there was a connection with increased serum

lipids.
