How to treat a daughter with congenital hyperlipidemia

Patient's question:

My daughter is now 1 year and 4 months old. During a viral cold, she had a high fever, and a blood test revealed abnormal blood results. Could the viral cold cause high blood lipids? Did excessive consumption of strawberry yogurt during pregnancy lead to high blood lipids? How is congenital high blood lipids treated?

Doctor's answer:

The treatment approach is also fundamental, primarily focusing on improving lifestyle, including reducing the intake of greasy foods such as fatty meat and animal organs, paying attention to light diet, and consuming more potassium-rich fruits, as well as appropriately increasing physical activity.
Secondly, in terms of medication, if the main issue is elevated total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein, statin drugs such as rosuvastatin and atorvastatin should be taken to lower cholesterol levels. If the main issue is elevated triglycerides, medications such as fenofibrate can be used. While undergoing lipid-lowering treatment, it is necessary to regularly monitor liver function and blood lipids.
