	Combined hyperlipidemia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In medicine, combined hyperlipidemia (or - aemia) is a commonly occurring form of hypercholesterolemia (elevated cholesterol levels) characterised by increased LDL and triglyceride concentrations, often accompanied by decreased HDL.
		Familiar combined hyperlipidemia (FCH) is the familiar occurrence of this disorder, probably caused by polymorphism s in molecules and enzyme s that participate in lipoprotein metabolism, such as ApoCII and ApoCIII and CETP (cholesterylester transferring protein).
		Hyperlipidemia in Children American Heart Association looks at the atherosclerotic process which begins in childhood and is affected by high blood cholesterol levels.

	Re: hyperlipidemia & pregnancy
		There do not appear to be many studies relating to hyperlipidemia medications and their affect on the fetus.

	Lipids Online Slides: hyperlipidemia, simvastatin, triglyceride, niacin
		Combined use of a statin with niacin is an attractive option for the treatment of hyperlipidemia since these agents, used individually, have had favorable effects in clinical trials with regard to reductions in cardiovascular events and improvements in the progression or regression of coronary lesions.
		Recent trials with statins have shown that patients with mixed hyperlipidemia and low HDL-C levels achieve greater increases in HDL-C with statin therapy than was previously recognized.
		Because of the different molecular mechanisms by which niacin and fibrates increase HDL-C, it is not surprising that the combination of niacin plus a statin, or a fibrate plus a statin, leads to greater increases in HDL-C along with other favorable effects on the overall lipid profile.
