title: Management of hyperlipidemia in pediatrics.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this review is to provide up-to-date information on diagnosis and management of hyperlipidemia in children and adolescents.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Recent research reemphasizes the importance of dyslipidemia as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and supports a universal approach to screening for genetic dyslipidemias.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The approach to management of hyperlipidemia should take two forms. First, a population-based approach to improve lifestyle and lipid levels in all children. Second, a high-risk strategy to identify children with genetic and environmental dyslipidemias through screening and appropriately treat those children and adolescents with dyslipidemia.
