[Diagnosis and treatment of disturbances of lipid metabolism in children and adolescents].
It has been demonstrated in prospective and epidemiological studies that excessive consumption of saturated and trans-fats, refined carbohydrates, epidemic of obesity and metabolic syndrome in children and adolescents have prognostic value in relation to development of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in adults. Pediatricians should initiate long-term prevention of CVD in early age. At present there are scientific data on safety and efficacy of drugs in the treatment of dyslipidemia in adolescent age. A review of clinical studies on detection, diagnosis, prevention, and drug correction of lipid disturbances among children and adolescents is presented in this paper. Main statements of recommendations of American Academy of Pediatrics "Cholesterol in Childhood" are analyzed in detail.
