      What is Hyperlipidemia ICD 10 or Dyslipidemia ICD 10?

      Hyperlipidemia ICD 10 (E78.5) is a condition where there are the high levels of lipids or fats in the blood. It can typically increase the potential risk of cardiovascular diseases (including heart attacks, CAD, etc.,) and strokes, by contributing to the buildup of fats in the arteries. These terms, hyperlipidemia and dyslipidemia often overlap when describing cholesterol abnormalities. Cholesterol can be considered "dysfunctional" (characterized by highly inflammatory cholesterol particles or an imbalanced ratio of bad to good cholesterol) even if its levels aren't elevated.

      Why is Hyperlipidemia or Dyslipidemia ICD 10 Happening?

      Hyperlipidemia unspecified ICD 10 (Code: E78.5) can be majorly caused by:

      • Diet:

        Saturated fats and trans fats intake

      • Lifestyle:

        Sedentary behavior, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption.

      • Genetics:

        Inherited conditions affecting lipid levels.

      • Medical Conditions:

        Obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome.

      Treatment Options for Hyperlipidemia unspecified ICD 10

      • Medications:

        • Statins:

          Lower cholesterol.

        • Cholesterol Absorption Inhibitors:

          Reduce cholesterol absorption.

        • PCSK9 Inhibitors:

          Lower LDL levels.

        • Bempedoic Acid:

          Reduces cholesterol.

        • Fibrates:

          Lower triglycerides.

        • Bile Acid Binding Resins:

          Reduce cholesterol levels.

      Diagnostics for Hyperlipidemia ICD 10

      • Lipid Panel Blood Test:

        It measures total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides.

      Symptoms for Hyperlipidemia ICD 10

      Hyperlipidemia usually has no symptoms but can lead to severe cardiovascular conditions if untreated.
