What does lipidology do?

The word lipidology comes from the Greek word lipid, meaning fat. Lipidology is concerned with abnormalities in the levels of fats (cholesterol, protective cholesterol, harmful cholesterol and triglycerides) circulating in the blood and their treatment. It is also responsible for total vascular protection.

Cardiovascular disease is currently one of the biggest problems in Hungarian society. Most cardiovascular diseases are caused by
is atherosclerosis, which can cause vasoconstriction, vascular blockage and blood clots. These can lead to serious illnesses such as heart and kidney disease, stroke, intestinal death or lower limb
arterial disease. Since we know that without cholesterol there is no atherosclerosis, the role of lipidologists is crucial in the early detection of these diseases.

Among the cardiovascular risk factors, high blood pressure and fat metabolism disorders are the most common, in addition to a healthy lifestyle and lack of proper nutrition.

When should you visit the lipidology clinic?

suspected high cholesterol in family members
vascular disease, untreated high cholesterol
any abnormal blood lipid levels without any other disease
diabetes, high blood pressure with higher blood lipids
high fasting triglyceride levels
if you have a history of vascular disease or a vascular disaster anywhere in the body (stroke, myocardial infarction, end-stage vascular occlusion)
after pancreatitis

The clinic can also help with the treatment of abnormal obesity or overweight.

We have added a new service: the Leqvio cholesterol injection package

Incliziran is an injection that significantly reduces blood cholesterol levels.

Adjusting cholesterol to target levels is closely associated with reducing the development of cardiovascular disease.

The injection can be prescribed to patients who have been taking other cholesterol-lowering medicines (statins) for at least 1 month,

but have not reached the cholesterol target set by current national scientific societies, or
have experienced side effects while taking them, and

patients who have had a heart attack, coronary artery surgery, or
patients with lower limb vascular stenosis, patients who have undergone vascular surgery, or
a history of cerebral infarction (stroke).

Incliziran is given as an injection under the skin. After the first injection, the next dose is given after 3 months, and the remaining doses are given every six months in the specialist clinic.
