Overview

High cholesterol level can result from various causes which include: genetic (e.g. Apo A-I deficiency, Apolipoprotein B deficiency, Apolipoprotein C2 deficiency, Apoliprotein E deficiency, Autosomal recessive hypercholesterolemia, Familial combined hyperlipidemia, Familial hypercholesterolemia); side effect of medications (e.g. Antiretroviral therapy, Beta blockers, Corticosteroids); metabolic (e.g. Metabolic syndrome, Niemann-Pick disease type B, Obesity, Zieve's syndrome), endocrine (e.g. Polycystic ovary syndrome, Werner syndrome) and many other conditions.
