A 67-year-old male patient consumes eggs, pork fat, butter, milk and meat. Blood test results: cholesterol - 12,3 mmol/l, total lipids - 8,2 g/l, increased low-density lipoprotein fraction (LDL). What type of hyperlipoproteinemia is observed in the patient?
- A. Cholesterol, hyperlipoproteinemia
- B. Hyperlipoproteinemia type IIb
- C. Hyperlipoproteinemia type IV
- D. Hyperlipoproteinemia type I
- E. Hyperlipoproteinemia type IIa
Hint
Use both the lipoprotein fraction that is raised and the pattern of cholesterol versus triglyceride-rich particles to place this profile in the classification of lipoprotein disorders.
