title: Managing lipid disorders.
abstract: We have reviewed the importance of treating hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia. Unfortunately, most physicians are not experienced in prescribing diets to lower blood cholesterol; the use of cholesterol lowering drugs, especially resins and niacin, is not within the experience of most doctors. Although promising medications are on the horizon, the long-term safety of these drugs is not determined.
