Hypercholesterolemia Market Grow At A CAGR Of 3.81 % Over The Period 2014-2018

Hypercholesterolemia is defined as a condition characterized by abnormally high levels of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol in the blood. High cholesterol levels, in turn, can lead to cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and stroke. The normal physiological range of total blood cholesterol is 140-200 mg/dL. However, blood cholesterol consists of various individual components such as LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol. While LDL delivers cholesterol to the body, HDL removes cholesterol from cells by reverse cholesterol transport to the liver. Owing to their distinct roles, these components are separately taken into account to determine the dyslipidemic status of an individual. The inheritable form of hypercholesterolemia, characterized by elevated total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels, is known as familial hypercholesterolemia. When the condition is inherited due to the presence of one abnormal copy of the LDL receptor gene, it is known as heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. The presence of abnormal copies of both the LDL receptor alleles leads to homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
