Ebiseera ebisinga bwe twogera ku kolesterol, tulowooza nti bino byeyongera mu bantu bokka abalya emmere erimu amafuta n’amasavu, abatakola dduyiro, era abagejjulukuka. Ekyo kituufu okutuuka ku ddaala eritali limu. Naye mu mbeera eno eyitibwa Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) , ne bw’oba ​​omugonvu otya oba obulamu bwo mulamu otya, omuwendo gwa kolesterol omubi mu mubiri gwo gweyongera otomatika. Kubanga, ensonga lwaki kino kikoleddwa si bulamu bwo, wabula ekikyamu mu buzaale bwo.

Emyaka mitono emabega, omukyala ow’emyaka 40 yabuulira ebyo bye yayitamu. Yali mugonvu nnyo era nga mulamu bulungi. Olunaku lumu bwe yali mu dduuka ly’emmere, yawulira obuzito obutagumiikiriza mu kifuba era ng’atuuyana nnyo. Amangu ago bwe yagenda okulaba omusawo, oluvannyuma lw'okumukebera ECG, omusawo n'agamba nti, "Waakafuna obulwadde bw'omutima." Yali tasobola kukkiriza.

Oluvannyuma, okukebera okw'enjawulo okwatuumiddwa ``Heart Catheterization`` kwazuula nti emisuwa ena emikulu egy'omusaayi mu mutima gye gyazibikira ebitundu 90%. Mu wiiki bbiri, obupiira obutono butaano, obuyitibwa ``Stents``, bwalina okuteekebwamu okusobola okukuuma emisuwa egyo nga miggule. Kyasembyeyo okuzuulibwa nti yalina obulwadde obuyitibwa Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH).

Abaana baffe nabo bali mu bulabe?

Kino kye kintu ekisinga obukulu kye tulina okussaako essira. Okuva bwe kiri nti FH bulwadde bwa nsikirano, singa omu ku bazadde aba n’obulwadde buno, emikisa 50% nti abaana bajja kubusikira . Kino kitegeeza nti singa wabaawo abaana babiri, emikisa mingi nti waakiri omu ku bo ajja kufuna obulwadde buno.

Obulabe obuli mu kino kwe kuba nti, olw’okuba obubonero tebulabika, tuyinza obutamanya nti omwana alina obulwadde buno. Naye munda mu mubiri gw’omwana oyo, kolesterol omubi atandika okukuŋŋaanyizibwa mpolampola mu misuwa. Olw’ensonga eno, omwana oyoNe mu myaka emito, kwe kugamba, mu myaka gyo egy’obukulu 20 ne 30, emikisa mingi nnyo egy’okulwala omutima oba okusannyalala.

N’olwekyo, singa omuntu mu maka go abadde alina obulwadde bw’omutima ku myaka emito, oba singa wabaawo ebyafaayo by’amaka nga birimu kolesterol omungi, kikulu nnyo abaana bo okwekebeza ekirungo kya kolesterol.
