A client who takes a statin and gemfibrozil (Lopid) for hyperlipidemia reports onset of muscle pain and weakness. The additional assessment that is most important for the nurse to obtain is Serum liver enzymes.

If you have hyperlipidemia, your blood has too many lipids (or fats), including triglycerides and cholesterol. One kind of hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, is characterized by an excess of LDL (bad) and non-HDL cholesterol in the blood. Increased artery fatty buildup and blockage risk are caused by this disorder.

Although hyperlipidemia is curable, it frequently lasts a lifetime. You'll need to keep an eye on your diet and exercise frequently. Additionally, you might have to take a prescription drug.  Serum liver enzymes are also important.

Diet, exercise, and weight loss continue to be the cornerstones of treating hyperlipidemia. It has been demonstrated that almonds and olive oil are healthy. The first-line medicine of choice is still statins. Additionally available treatments include ezetimibe, bile acid sequestrants, fibrates, and fish oil.
