Hyperlipidemia is the presence of elevated or abnormal levels of lipids and/or lipoproteins in the blood, and is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease.lood lipids (or blood fats) are lipids in the blood, either free or bound to other molecules.
Many persons on combination therapy are developing abnormally high blood lipid levels, particularly triglycerides. High LDL and low HDL cholesterol levels also seem to be relatively common in patients on protease inhibitors, and may increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.ipids (fats) are needed by the body to build cell membranes, make certain hormones, and store energy. Cholesterol and triglycerides are the main types of lipids measured in routine blood chemistry tests.
