- High cholesterol is associated with an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease. That can include coronary heart disease, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease. High cholesterol has also been linked to diabetes and high blood pressure.To prevent or manage these conditions, work with your doctor to see what steps you need to take to lower your cholesterol.our total cholesterol level is High. Your level of bad LDL cholesterol is High, too. Working to bring down your total cholesterol decreases your LDL cholesterol level. You can do this by exercising more and eating less food with saturated fats.

Approach To A Patient With Elevated Serum Alkaline Phosphatase Cholestasis may occur as a result of an acute or chronic process involving either the extrahepatic or intrahepatic biliary tree . This syndrome is characterized by an elevated serum alkaline phosphatase (AP) and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) out of proportion to elevation of aminotransferase enzymes . Clinically, pruritus and fatigue are the most common presenting symptoms of chronic cholestatic disorders.

Overview If you have risk factors for coronary artery disease — such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, tobacco use, diabetes, a strong family history of heart disease or obesity — talk to your doctor.

Effects of High LDL Cholesterol Having diabetes can go hand-in-hand with high levels of LDL-C, and when both are present, it increases your risk of cardiovascular disease. In addition, the added problem of hypertension is also linked to premature heart disease and stroke.

Obesity 1 Obesity is not just a cosmetic consideration. 2  It is a chronic medical disease that can lead to diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, gallstones, and other chronic illnesses. 3  Obesity is difficult to treat and has a high relapse rate.

Cholesterol and Diarrhea A woman has stomach pain. High cholesterol causes fatty deposits to gather in the blood vessels that can lead to blockages and cause a stroke or heart attack. According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, high cholesterol may be partly genetic, but primarily occurs as a result of poor diet.

About Diabetes Mellitus complications include: 1  Low blood sugar or hypoglycemia (that may be induced by transient remission or incorrect insulin dosing) 2  Chronic pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) 3  Poor grooming and dry, lusterless coat. 4  Recurrent infections. 5  Ketoacidosis (ketones and high acidity in body fluids)

Abstract Abstract —Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the major causes of mortality in persons with diabetes, and many factors, including hypertension, contribute to this high prevalence of CVD. Hypertension is approximately twice as frequent in patients with diabetes compared with patients without the disease.

Acute cholecystitis Acalculous cholecystitis. Acalculous cholecystitis is a less common, but usually more serious, type of acute cholecystitis. It usually develops as a complication of a serious illness, infection or injury that damages the gallbladder. Acalculous cholecystitis is often associated with problems such as accidental damage to the gallbladder during major surgery, serious injuries or burns, blood poisoning (sepsis) , severe malnutrition or AIDS.

- Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in people with diabetes. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood glucose and other risk factors contribute to increasing the risk of cardiovascular complications.

Hypertriglyceridemia Hypertriglyceridemia denotes high (hyper-) blood levels (-emia) of triglycerides, the most abundant fatty molecule in most organisms. Elevated levels of triglycerides are associated with atherosclerosis, even in the absence of hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol levels), and predispose to cardiovascular disease.Very high triglyceride levels also increase the risk of acute pancreatitis.levated levels of triglycerides are associated with atherosclerosis, even in the absence of hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol levels), and predispose to cardiovascular disease. Very high triglyceride levels also increase the risk of acute pancreatitis.

About Metabolic Syndrome For example, high blood pressure alone is a serious condition, but when a patient has high blood pressure along with high fasting glucose levels and abdominal obesity, this patient may be diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. There is a greater chance this patient will have cardiovascular problems because of the combination of risk factors. Metabolic syndrome is a serious health condition that affects about 23 percent of adults and places them at higher risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke and diseases related to fatty buildups in artery walls. The underlying causes of metabolic syndrome include overweight and obesity, physical inactivity, genetic factors and getting older.

Cholestasis (BRIC) Acute extrahepatic cholestasis is caused by obstruction to the bile ducts due to malignancy, benign bile duct stricture, bile duct compression, bile duct stones, gallstones and infectious cholangitis. Drugs, viral infections, sepsis and cholestatic conditions can lead to acute intrahepatic cholestasis.

Diabetes and High Blood Pressure High blood pressure (hypertension) can lead to many complications of diabetes, including diabetic eye disease and kidney disease, or make them worse. Most people with diabetes will eventually have high blood pressure, along with other heart and circulation problems. Diabetes damages arteries and makes them targets for hardening, called atherosclerosis. That can cause high blood pressure, which if not treated, can lead to trouble including blood vessel damage, heart attack, and kidney failure.

Overview Cardiovascular disease. Diabetes dramatically increases the risk of various cardiovascular problems, including coronary artery disease with chest pain (angina), heart attack, stroke and narrowing of arteries (atherosclerosis). If you have diabetes, you are more likely to have heart disease or stroke. Nerve damage (neuropathy).

Acute cholecystitis Without appropriate treatment, acute cholecystitis can sometimes lead to potentially life-threatening complications. The main complications of acute cholecystitis are: 1  the death of the tissue of the gallbladder, called gangrenous cholecystitis, which can cause a serious infection that could spread throughout the body.

- XSLT = XSL Transformations. XSLT is the most important part of XSL. XSLT is used to transform an XML document into another XML document, or another type of document that is recognized by a browser, like HTML and XHTML.Normally XSLT does this by transforming each XML element into an (X)HTML element.With XSLT you can add/remove elements and attributes to or from the output file.SLT is used to transform an XML document into another XML document, or another type of document that is recognized by a browser, like HTML and XHTML.

Complications Complications A small number of people with gallstones may develop serious problems if the gallstones cause a severe blockage or move into another part of the digestive system. Inflammation of the gallbladder (acute cholecystitis) In some cases of gallstone disease a bile duct can become permanently blocked, which can lead to a build-up of bile inside the gallbladder. This can cause the gallbladder to become infected and inflamed. The medical term for inflammation of the gallbladder is acute cholecystitis. Symptoms include:

Measles This results in a condition called subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), which is often fatal. This is very rare, occurring in about 14 out of every 1 million cases of measles. Measles can also cause complications such as hepatitis (inflammation of the liver) or appendicitis (inflammation of the appendix).

Chronic Cholestasis Abnormal liver test > Cholestatic pattern > More than six months > Chronic cholestasis. The differential diagnosis for chronic cholestasis is wide and depends on the clinical setting and therefore careful history and physical examination are of great importance. The main cause of chronic cholestasis is drug-induced liver injury (intrahepatic cholestasis), but there are additional diagnostic possibilities.

- Complications of diabetes. People with diabetes have an increased risk of developing a number of serious health problems. Consistently high blood glucose levels can lead to serious diseases affecting the heart and blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, nerves and teeth.

About Cholesterol High cholesterol is one of the major controllable risk factors for coronary heart disease, heart attack and stroke. As your blood cholesterol rises, so does your risk of coronary heart disease. If you have other risk factors such as smoking, high blood pressure or diabetes, this risk increases even further.
