Yu want fɔ no gud gud wan wetin na yu kɔlɔstrel lɛvɛl? Wetin mek dis impɔtant to wi?

Wi ɔl kin yɛri di wɔd kɔlɔstrel bɔku tɛm. Sɔntɛnde, wi padi ɔ fambul kin se, "O, mi kɔlɔstrel dɔn ay smɔl." Yu go mɔs dɔn yɛri di dɔktɔ se, "Di dɔktɔ se na so." So, wetin rili na kɔlɔstrel? Wetin mek i impɔtant fɔ wi bɔdi, ɛn aw i go denja? Lɛ wi tɔk bɔt dis tide insay wan simpul we we yu go ɔndastand.

Wetin mek dis tin we dɛn kɔl kɔlɔstrel impɔtant so?

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, kɔlɔstrel na wan kayn fat we de na wi bɔdi, ɔ fɔ tɔk mɔ, na wan kayn lipid. Dis kɔlɔstrel de ɛp fɔ du bɔku impɔtant wok dɛn na wi bɔdi, lɛk fɔ bil sɛl dɛn ɛn fɔ mek sɔm ɔmon dɛn. Bɔt, lɛk ɛnitin, prɔblɛm kin apin we i kam tumɔs na di bɔdi.

Tink bɔt wi blɔd vesel dɛn lɛk paip dɛn we de kɛr wata. We di kɔlɔstrel lɛvɛl go ɔp, dis ɛkstra kɔlɔstrel kin gɛda smɔl smɔl insay di wɔl dɛn na wi blɔd vesel dɛn. na de, i de bil εn, as tεm de go, i de tik, i de fכm wan tik layεr we dεn kכl ``atherosclerotic plaque.'' Dis na wetin dכkta dεn kכl ``atherosclerosis.''

We dɛn tin ya we de na di blɔd kin kam insay di blɔd vesel dɛn, di blɔd kin stɔp. I tan lɛk dɔti we de stɔp na wata paip. Dis kin rili siriɔs. Sik dɛn kin apin. Na sɔm ɛgzampul dɛn ya:

• Koronari at sik: Dis kin apin we di at we de gi blɔd to di at kin blok. Dis kin mek di at nɔ gɛt di ɔksijɛn ɛn di tin dɛn we i nid.
• Pɛriferal at sik: Dis na we di at we de kɛr blɔd go na di leg ɛn an dɛn kin blok.
• Di sik we de na di at we de na di karotid (` Carotid Artery Disease `): Dis kin mek di men at we de kɛr blɔd go na di bren blok.

Kɔlɔstrel na wan snek scumbag!

Dis na di tin we denja pas ɔl bɔt kɔlɔstrel. Ivin if yu kɔlɔstrel lɛvɛl rili ay ɛn yu dɔn bigin fɔ bil dipɔsit na yu blɔd vesel, bɔku tɛm yu nɔ kin fil ɛni sayn . I tan lɛk se pɔsin de slip in finga dɛn fɔ krɔs kap, ɛn fɔs, nɔ sawnd ɔ prɛshɔn nɔ de.

Bɔt, as tɛm de go, we dɛn dipɔsit dɛn ya kin big ɛn di blɔd vesel dɛn kin blok, lɛk di sawnd we di sus dɛn we gɛt ay il kin mek na wud flo, prɔblɛm kin kam wantɛm wantɛm. Dis min se yu nɔ go no se yu kɔlɔstrel bɔku te yu gɛt siriɔs sik lɛk at atak ɔ strok.

Imajin, fɔ lɔng lɔng tɛm, yu dɔn de du dat Ivin if yu kɔlɔstrel lɛvɛl bɔku, yu nɔ go no bɔt am. Na dat mek i rili impɔtant fɔ mek dɛn chɛk yu kɔlɔstrel ɔltɛm . If yu kam fɔ no se yu gɛt ay kɔlɔstrel (`Hyperlipidemia`), i kin bi big wɔnin sayn fɔ yu ɛn yu dɔktɔ.

Bɔrku pipul kin gɛt bɔrku kɔlɔstrel, ɛn na big tin wae kin mek pɔrsin gɛt at sik. Bɔt di gud nyus na dat yu nɔ nid fɔ liv wit yu kɔlɔstrel lɛvɛl sote go. Yu kin chenj dɛn . If yu no se yu gɛt bɔku kɔlɔstrel kwik kwik wan, yu gɛt bɛtɛ chans fɔ gɛt gud kɔlɔstrel lɛvɛl bay we yu chenj di we aw yu de liv yu layf ɛn di tin dɛn we yu de it.

Lɛ wi si wetin na dɛn kayn kɔlɔstrel chɛk ya.

We yu go si dɔktɔ, if dɛn aks yu fɔ chɛk yu kɔlɔstrel lɛvɛl, dɛn go du wan blɔd tɛst we dɛn kɔl `Lipid panel` ɔ `Lipid profile`. Dis min se yu fɔ tek smɔl blɔd frɔm wan vein na yu an ɛn sɛn am na lɛb. Bifo yu du dis tɛst, di dɔktɔ go tɛl yu fɔ fast fɔ lɛk 12 awa so (eksept wata). Yu fɔ fala dɛn instrɔkshɔn dɛn ya di rayt we.

Bɔku men kayn kɔlɔstrel dɛn de we dɛn kin tɛst pan dis tɛst:

• Tɔtɔl kɔlɔstrel: Dis na di ɔl kɔlɔstrel we de na yu blɔd.
• LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein): Dɛn kɔl dis "bad" kɔlɔstrel . Bikɔs na di wan we kin de na di blɔd vesel ɛn i kin mek tin dɛn lɛk at atak ɛn strok.
• HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein): Dɛn kɔl dis "gud" kɔlɔstrel bikɔs i de ɛp fɔ pul di kɔlɔstrel we yu nɔ want na di bɔdi.

We yu ripɔt kam, yu dɔktɔ go ɛksplen am to yu. Yu kin ivin ebul fɔ wach am na di Intanɛt. dεn de mכsu kכlestכl insay yunit dεm we dεn kכl `mg/dL` (miligram pan wan dεsilita). Dɛn kin mɛzhɔ di triglisɛrɛyd dɛn di sem we.

So, wetin fɔ bi di wɛlbɔdi kɔlɔstrel lɛvɛl?

Di wɛl bɔdi kɔlɔstrel lɛvɛl kin difrɛn smɔl frɔm wan pɔsin to ɔda pɔsin. Dis min se dɛn kin difrɛn smɔl dipen pan tin dɛn lɛk yu ej, yu trayb, ɛn yu man ɔ uman.

Jɛnɛral wan, i fayn fɔ mek pɔsin we gɛt wɛlbɔdi gɛt kɔlɔstrel lɛvɛl insay dɛn rεnj ya:

• Tכtal Kכlestכl: Na di lεvεl we de dכn 200 mg/dL na di bεst.
• LDL (bad kכlestכl): I bεst fכ kip am dכn 100 mg/dL. Bɔt if yu gɛt at sik ɔ bɔku tin dɛn we kin mek yu gɛt at sik (e.g., dayabitis, ay blɔd prɛshɔn, smok), yu dɔktɔ kin se yu fɔ put yu LDL lɛvɛl dɔŋ to dɔŋ 70 mg/dL.
• HDL (gud kɔlɔstrel): Di mɔ dis na di mɔ i bɛtɛ . If i pas 60 `mg/dL`, i de ɛp fɔ protɛkt yusɛf frɔm at sik.
• Triglisεrayd: di gol na fכ kip dεm dכn 150 mg/dL.

Di tin we impɔtant pas ɔl na dat yu LDL lɛvɛl fɔ go dɔŋ ɛn yu HDL lɛvɛl fɔ go ɔp .

Smɔl difrɛns de bitwin man ɛn uman na di HDL lɛvɛl. Adult uman dɛn fɔ gɛt HDL lɛvɛl we at le 50 mg/dL. Man dεm fכ gεt HDL lεvεl we at le 40 mg/dL.

So, kɔmpia di valyu dɛn we de na yu ripɔt wit dɛn nɔmal lɛvul ya. Bɔt, nɔ ɛva disayd fɔ du sɔntin fɔ yusɛf . Tɔk to yu dɔktɔ ɛn ɔndastand gud gud wan aw dɛn tin ya de apin to yu sityueshɔn.

Na us lεvεl kכlestכl "high"?

jεnarali, wan tכtal kכlestכl lεvεl we na 200 mg/dL כ hכy dεn kin kכnsidr am as "high." כltu, dכkta dεm de sheb dis insay כda kεtכgrεf dεm, lεk "bכdalayn hεy" (bitwin 200 εn 239 mg/dL). Dɛn kin du dis fɔ si if di chenj na yu layf kin ɛp fɔ kɔntrol am bifo yu bigin fɔ trit am.

Fɔ ɛgzampul, yu LDL (bad kɔlɔstrel) lɛvɛl:

• if i de bitwin 130-159 mg/dL, i kin fכl insay di "jכs hכy" rεnj.
• "High" de bitwin 160-189 mg/dL.
• enitin we pas 190 mg/dL na "rili hכy".

If na dɛn lɛvul ya, yu fɔ rili tɔk to dɔktɔ ɛn gɛt di tritmɛnt ɛn advays we yu nid.

Yu tink se di kɔlɔstrel lɛvɛl kin tu smɔl ɔ tu ay?

Dis na kwɛstyɔn bak we bɔku pipul dɛn kin aks.

• We i kam pan yu tɔtal kɔlɔstrel ɛn LDL (bad kɔlɔstrel) lɛvɛl, di mɔ dɛn smɔl, na di mɔ i go bɛtɛ . Risach pipul dεm nכ fכn yet wan thrεshold fכ LDL kכlestכl we se "yu nכ kin go εni lכw pas dis." Dat min se ilɛk aw yu LDL smɔl, i fayn fɔ yu wɛlbɔdi.
• Bɔt di mɔ di HDL (gud kɔlɔstrel) lɛvɛl go ɔp, na di mɔ i go bɛtɛ. No ɔpa limit nɔ de we se "i nɔ kin go ay pas dis bɔku".

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, .Natin nɔ de fɔ wɔri bɔt if LDL tu smɔl, ɛn natin nɔ de fɔ wɔri bɔt if HDL tu ay – dɛn tu na gud sayn!
