Hyperlipidemia means having high levels of fats or lipids in blood. These fats include cholesterol and triglycerides. High lipid levels can increase risk of heart disease and stroke. There are different types of hyperlipidemia, based on which fats are high. Some types run in families, others happen from lifestyle or health issues. Knowing the type helps doctors pick the right care plan.
Mixed hyperlipidemia is a condition where both cholesterol and triglyceride levels are high. It is a common type of hyperlipidemia. It can raise the risk of heart problems more than single type. People with mixed hyperlipidemia often need to manage multiple factors. These include diet, exercise, and sometimes medication.
Doctors and insurance companies use ICD 10 codes to classify diseases like hyperlipidemia. These codes make easier to track diagnoses and billing. Codes such as E78.0 or E78.2 are examples used for different types of hyperlipidemia. Knowing these codes helps patients understand their medical records and bills.
"The hyperlipidemia diagnosis code is an ICD 10 number that shows your condition." This code shows up on medical bills and insurance claims
Hyperlipidemia often has no clear symptoms. "Some people may get fatty skin bumps called xanthomas or feel chest pain if heart disease starts."
High lipid levels can cause plaque buildup inside arteries. This narrows blood vessels and reduces blood flow. Over time, it increases risk of heart attacks and strokes. Managing hyperlipidemia lowers these risks and supports better heart health.
