It is a major modifiable risk factor for coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral vascular disease. The most aggressive treatment of elevated lipids should be reserved for those patients at highest risk for vascular disease: Patients with a documented history of coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, or peripheral vascular disease. Patients with a history of diabetes or hypertension. Patients with two or more risk factors for vascular disease. Patients with an LDL-C level above 160 mg/dL. Patients with elevated triglycerides, low levels of HDL cholesterol, and those who smoke. Screening recommendations for the general population are: Every 5 years for males age 35-65 Every 5 years for females age 45-65.

To speak with a PharmaCare pharmacist or representative, Call From Your Specialized Pharmacy Team Transplantation and Hyperlipidemia What Is It and Why Should I be Concerned? Prepared By Keven J. Lynch, PharmD, BCPS Over the past few years, multiple immunosuppressant agents have become available. This means that the transplant physician is now able to tailor the transplant recipient's medication regimen according to his or her unique characteristics or other ongoing illnesses. One of the reasons for customizing transplant medication regimens is the risk of some long-term complications related to the immunosuppressive agents. We've all heard the concerns about gaining too much weight and eating too much cholesterol. This is especially concerning for transplant recipients since the long-term complications that can occur include post-transplant obesity and hyperlipidemia. Hyperlipidemia, or increased cholesterol and/or triglycerides in the blood, over time, can lead to cardiovascular disease. Heart disease is the primary cause of death in stable organ transplant recipients. In other words, organ preservation, surgical technique, post-operative care and the immunosuppressants available today are improving the life of the transplanted organ. But, recipients are primarily succumbing to cardiovascular illness.
