Dyslipoproteinemia is the common part of metabolic syndrom, it appears probably due tu high level of free fatty acids. The typical lipid disorders are: high trigylcerides concentration, low HDL-cholesterol level, elevation of small dense LDL3 particles and elevation of apolipoprotein B100 and non-HDL cholesterol. LDL-cholesterol concentration is usually normal. This type of dyslipoproteinemia is very aterogenic. Weight reduction, diet and regular physical activity is the most effective way how to treat this type of dyslipoproteinemia. When non-pharmacologic treatment is not successful, treatment with hypolipidemic drugs is necessary to prevent atherosclerotic complications. Fibrates are recommended in typical dyslipidemia to lower high triglycerides level and to elevated low HDL-cholesterol concentration. But when high LDL-cholesterol is present, statins are needed. In some patients with combined hyperlipidemia treating with fibrate and statin together is needed to reach target lipid levels.
