Dyslipidemia is a medical condition characterized by abnormal levels of lipids (fats) in the blood, such as cholesterol and triglycerides. Left untreated, it can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems.
At RamaCare Polyclinic in Jumeirah 1, Dubai, our experienced general physicians offer comprehensive dyslipidemia diagnosis and treatment, combining advanced testing, personalized treatment plans, and lifestyle guidance to help you maintain healthy cholesterol and protect your heart.
Dyslipidemia occurs when your blood contains too much LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, too little HDL (“good”) cholesterol, or high triglyceride levels. It is often a silent condition — many people don’t know they have it until it causes serious health issues.
Our clinic offers early detection through lipid profile testing, ensuring you can take control before complications develop.
