Understanding Dyslipidemia
Dyslipidemia means there are unhealthy levels of fats (lipids) in the blood, which can increase the risk of heart disease over time.
Our Approach to Lipid Care
Advanced Testing
We use lipid panels and specialized testing to identify the cause and risk level.
Personalized Treatment
Care plans may include nutrition guidance, activity, and medication when needed.
Healthy Lifestyle Support
We partner with your family to build heart healthy habits that last.
Ongoing Monitoring
We track progress and adjust treatment to support long term heart health.
Preventing Future Risk
Early management lowers the risk of heart disease in adulthood.
Signs and Risk Factors
Many children with dyslipidemia have no symptoms. Risk factors may include:
- Family history of high cholesterol or early heart disease
- Obesity or overweight
- Type 1 or type 2 diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Kidney or liver disease
- Certain genetic conditions
Early detection and treatment can make a powerful difference.
