How can you use “hyperlipidemia” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Statin use increased nearly 5-fold from 9% (99% confidence interval: 7%–12%) of all visits with reported hyperlipidemia in 1992 to 49% (42%–55%) in 2000, but then declined to 36% (31%–42%) in 2002 (Figure 1).
Among patient visits with reported hyperlipidemia, statins were used in 14% (8%–19%) of high-risk visits and 9% (5%–14%) of moderate-risk visits in 1992.
The underuse of statins is most prominent among visits by patients at high or moderate risk of CHD who do not have a physician-noted diagnosis of hyperlipidemia but may nonetheless be eligible for lipid-lowering drug therapy.
In our study, statin use was reported in only 44% of moderate-risk patient visits for which a diagnosis of hyperlipidemia was noted, which is surprisingly low given that the entire group would be expected to benefit from statin therapy.
The long-term treatment of patients with either CsA or TAC results in side effects such as nephrotoxicity, hypertension, and gingival hyperplasia [ 1 2 ] . Sirolimus (SRL) a new immunosuppressive agent is structurally similar to TAC binds to same binding protein FKBP, but its mechanism of action is different [ 3 ] . Both clinical and experimental studies demonstrated that SRL when used either with CsA or alone is associated with side effects such as hyperlipidemia, thrombocytopenia and nephrotoxicity [ 4 5 6 7 ] . Since SRL and TAC have affinity for the same binding site, it was thought to be ineffective when used together.
