Description

High Cholesterol (Hypercholesterolemia) is a metabolic condition characterized by elevated levels of cholesterol in the blood. Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that is necessary for the body to build healthy cells and produce certain hormones. However, having too much cholesterol, especially low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (often referred to as "bad" cholesterol), can lead to serious health issues, including heart disease and stroke.
