[Alcohol-induced hyperlipemia. Hypertension and extreme hypercholesterolemia/hypertriglyceridemia in a patient with hidden alcohol abuse].
The article presents the case history of a 28 year-old male with alcohol-induced hypertension and extreme hypercholesterolemia (36 mmol/l) and hypertriglyceridemia (76 mmol/l). Blood pressure and blood lipids were completely normalized after a few months withdrawal from alcohol. Alcoholism is emphasized as a possible differential diagnosis for both hypertension and hyperlipemias. The upper referential value for alcoholic hyperlipemia should probably be adjusted in accordance with the values observed in the present case.
