Hyperlipidemia refers to a group of inherited and acquired; chronic and progressive metabolic disorder wherein, the plasma or serum contains higher than 90 percentile Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL-C), Total Cholesterol (TC), Triglyceride levels (TG), or lipoprotein levels in comparison to the general population, or 10 percentile lower values of HDL in comparison to the general populace.
