There are many reasons why someone may have abnormal blood lipid levels (e.g., high “bad” LDL cholesterol, high triglycerides) besides being overweight or inactive. These include inheriting a lipid disorder from a parent, having another disease that impacts lipid levels in the blood, or taking certain medicines. The Stanford Medicine Children’s Health Pediatric Lipid Clinic cares for children of all ages with all types of lipid disorders, empowering them to live full, healthy lives by promoting proactive heart health.
You may not know that your child has a lipid disorder because it does not tend to manifest with noticeable symptoms. Your child might feel fine and live an active lifestyle yet still be at risk for a heart problem in early-to-mid-adult life. By providing expert treatment early on and consistently through the years, our comprehensive care team can help prevent complications associated with lipid abnormalities later in life, including early heart attack and stroke.
