hyperlipidemia
Let an agent explain hyperlipidemia and its types, relay causes, risk, screening and general management from cardiology and lipid guidelines, describe the forms the registry aliases name, and distinguish hyperlipidemia from dyslipidemia broadly, from atherosclerosis and from normal lipid variation, routing people to clinicians without personal advice.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain hyperlipidemia and its types, relay causes, risk, screening and general management from cardiology and lipid guidelines, describe the forms the registry aliases name, and distinguish hyperlipidemia from dyslipidemia broadly, from atherosclerosis and from normal lipid variation, routing people to clinicians without personal advice.
Abnormally elevated levels of lipids or lipoproteins in the blood, including high LDL cholesterol, hypertriglyceridemia and major hypertriglyceridemia, mixed hyperlipidemia with both raised, familial forms such as familial hypercholesterolaemia and familial combined hyperlipidemia, and hyperalphalipoproteinemia with high HDL; the hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype combines raised triglycerides with abdominal obesity. Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and very high triglycerides can cause pancreatitis. The model routes people to clinicians.
What it is for: Not applicable; a metabolic condition.
It can be explain types; relay risk and management; route to clinicians; distinguish related conditions.

Often silent
What it looks like
Not a visible object; sometimes xanthomas or corneal arcus.
Physical character
familial hypercholesterolaemia prevalence: about 1 in 250 note - heterozygous
severe hypertriglyceridemia threshold: about 10 mmol/L - about 880 mg/dL, pancreatitis risk
Fredrickson classification: types I to V note - 1967
How it is recognised
Elevated blood lipids or lipoproteins
Hypertriglyceridemia, familial hyperlipidemia, mixed hyperlipidemia, hyperalphalipoproteinemia, hypertriglyceridemic waist
Dyslipidemia includes low HDL; atherosclerosis is arterial disease; normal variation is within reference ranges

- How should lipid guidelines be linked?
- The registry entry has merged aliases naming lipid patterns and a phenotype; should they be split off?
