Complete care for patients with high cholesterol and related conditions
Lipid Clinic at South Lake Union cares for patients with high cholesterol and blood fats, a condition known as hyperlipidemia. We provide advanced management of lipid disorders and related metabolic and endocrine problems, including the evaluation and management of hyperlipidemia, heart disease risk and related health problems. We also provide lipid apheresis for people who are dealing with otherwise unmanageable hypercholesterolemia/hyperlipidemia.
We offer patients laboratory testing, diet assessment and education and physical examinations to diagnose the origin and/or cause of lipid and related abnormalities and to assess heart disease risk factors; individualized risk management through diet and medication; and consultation for primary care providers on specific cases. We have a registered dietitian with special expertise in cholesterol and lipoprotein metabolism providing patient education on-site.
We handle prescriptions for established patients on a daily basis, and we also perform research activities for interested patients outside regularly scheduled clinic appointment hours.
