Treatment Options for High Blood Cholesterol

Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Apheresis

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis is a procedure similar to dialysis that removes LDL from the bloodstream. This treatment is usually reserved for individuals with severe familial hypercholesterolemia and coronary artery disease who do not respond to cholesterol-lowering medications. LDL-apheresis is used in conjunction with cholesterol-lowering medications.

Visitor Feedback

"I found the Guidebook very comprehensive and written in a professional and clear style. I would recommend your books to anyone who has a problem and needs to go to a doctor. Trusting your health issues in the hands of a doctor who may or may not be good or professional is no longer acceptable. I found that my father-in-law's doctor does not actually know about many of the studies described in the book even though he is considered to be one of the "specialists" in this domain."
