About this document
Paradoxical Hypercholesterolemia Case Study by keerthib2607 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This case study discusses a 23-year-old man who presented with hypercholesterolemia attributed to the use of red yeast rice extract, leading to an elevated HDL cholesterol level. After discontinuing the supplement, his cholesterol levels normalized, indicating hyperalphalipoproteinemia rather than familial hypercholesterolemia. The study highlights the importance of laboratory medicine in diagnosing complex lipid disorders and the need for patients to disclose dietary supplement use.
