Dyslipidemias are disorders of lipoprotein metabolism, including lipoprotein overproduction or deficiency. These disorders may be manifested by elevation of the serum total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides concentrations, and a decrease in the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentration.

Dyslipidemia refers to an abnormal cholesterol profile. It can represent either a low HDL — HDL is the good cholesterol, the high-density lipoproteins — it may represent a high LDL cholesterol — LDL is the bad cholesterol, the low-density lipoprotein — or may represent an elevated triglycerides level, which is the blood fat level.
