ABSTRACT

Familial hypercholesterolemia is inherited genetic disease characterized by high cholesterol levels in the blood and high risk of cardiovascular disease. There are mutations in the LDL-receptor gene, so the diseases have specifically high levels of low-density lipoproteins. Combination of non-drug therapies in with lipid-lowering drugs does not often reach to the steady normalization of the lipid profile. However, in Kazakhstan available method for extracorporeal removal of LDL is Heparin-induced Extracorporeal Lipoprotein Precipitation (HELP therapy). The main step of the process is selective precipitation of LDL with heparin, different values of pH and immunoadsorption membrane filtration. This mini review discussed diagnostic approach of familial hypercholesterolemia and indications to HELP therapy.
Keywords: Familial hypercholesterolemia, atherosclerosis, hydroxymethylglutaryl, CoA Reductase Inhibitors, Lipoproteins LDL apheresis
