hypercholesterolemia
Let an agent explain hypercholesterolemia at a general, factual level from medical sources, relay its causes, the inherited form and general management, describe the forms its aliases name, and route personal concerns to a clinician.
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 hypercholesterolemia at a general, factual level from medical sources, relay its causes, the inherited form and general management, describe the forms its aliases name, and route personal concerns to a clinician.
Hypercholesterolemia is the presence of high levels of cholesterol in the blood, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease; the registry aliases name forms such as familial hypercholesterolemia, an inherited form, and its subtypes. High cholesterol often has no symptoms and is found by a blood test, and it is managed with diet, lifestyle and medicines. This entry gives general, factual information, and any personal situation should be directed to a qualified clinician.
What it is for: Not applicable; a medical condition.
It can be explain the condition generally; relay causes and forms; note general management; route personal concerns to a clinician.
Distinguishing features
High cholesterol
Often symptomless
Inherited and acquired forms
Cardiovascular risk
What it looks like
Not a visible object; a raised blood cholesterol level found by testing.
Physical character
feature: high blood cholesterol note
significance: cardiovascular risk factor note
registry parent: hyperlipidemia note
How it is recognised
High blood cholesterol
Familial hypercholesterolemia and its subtypes
It is a lipid level, not a symptom; the inherited form differs from diet-related high cholesterol
