5. Case Summary
A female patient of menopausal age presented for a routine health check-up during which dyslipidemia (high blood cholesterol) was detected. She has been on cholesterol-lowering medication and attends monthly clinic follow-up. She has a background history of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (diagnosed approximately 1 year ago), prior thyroid disease, kidney stones, and a previous episode of abdominal pain associated with weight loss (now resolved). Her mother had the same lipid disorder. Family history is notable for first-degree relatives with high cholesterol and recurrent pancreatitis.
On review of systems, the patient reports cardiovascular symptoms including chest pain, dyspnea on exertion, palpitations, and claudication-type leg pain while walking. Xanthelasma is present on examination. There are no tendon xanthomas, no active abdominal pain, and no statin-related myopathy symptoms. She does not consume alcohol. Her diet is high in saturated fat with reduced sugar. She has reached menopause.
Subjective Symptoms:
- High blood cholesterol (dyslipidemia) on routine screening
- Chest pain
- Shortness of breath on exertion
- Palpitations
- Leg pain while walking
- Prior abdominal pain (now resolved)
- Weight loss (prior)
Objective Findings:
- Xanthelasma present
- No tendon xanthomas
- No active abdominal signs
- No statin-related myopathy
- Elevated cholesterol on blood tests (5 days prior)
Past History:
- Dyslipidemia - on treatment
- Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
- Thyroid disease (around August last year)
- Kidney stones
6. Problem List
- Dyslipidemia - elevated total cholesterol / LDL (primary concern)
- Cardiovascular symptoms (chest pain, exertional dyspnea, palpitations, claudication)
- Xanthelasma
- Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
- Thyroid disease (previous; status under review)
- Nephrolithiasis (history)
- High saturated fat diet
- Positive family history of dyslipidemia and pancreatitis
- Menopausal status (risk factor for dyslipidemia)
7. Diagnosis
Preliminary Diagnosis:
Dyslipidemia (mixed/hypercholesterolaemia - to be classified after full lipid panel)
Differential Diagnosis:
- Primary (familial) hypercholesterolaemia - given strong family history and xanthelasma
- Secondary dyslipidemia due to hypothyroidism - prior thyroid disease must be excluded
- Secondary dyslipidemia due to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
- Mixed hyperlipidaemia (elevated LDL-C and triglycerides) with pancreatitis risk given family history
- Drug-induced dyslipidemia
8. Clinical Discussion
The preliminary diagnosis of dyslipidemia is supported by elevated cholesterol detected on routine blood work, the presence of xanthelasma (a cutaneous manifestation of hypercholesterolaemia), a strong family history of dyslipidemia (mother and first-degree relatives), and cardiovascular symptoms including chest pain, exertional dyspnea, palpitations, and claudication - all suggestive of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease burden.
Secondary causes must be systematically excluded. The patient has a prior history of thyroid disease; hypothyroidism is a well-recognised cause of secondary dyslipidemia and must be evaluated with current thyroid function tests. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is another important secondary contributor, characteristically producing elevated triglycerides and low HDL-C. Renal causes are relevant given her history of kidney stones, though nephrolithiasis itself does not directly cause dyslipidemia.
The family history of recurrent pancreatitis raises the possibility of a familial hypertriglyceridaemia syndrome, which would significantly alter management. The diet history (high saturated fat) is a modifiable risk factor. Menopausal status is also associated with an adverse lipid profile shift.
No statin-induced myopathy is evident. The patient does not consume alcohol, which excludes alcohol-induced hypertriglyceridaemia. There are no features of acute pancreatitis at this visit.
Cardiovascular risk stratification is required using a validated tool (e.g., SCORE2, Framingham, or Thai-specific risk calculator) incorporating her diabetes, lipid levels, menopausal status, and existing symptoms to determine LDL-C target and treatment intensity.
9. Recommended Investigations and Available Results
Available Results:
- Fasting lipid panel (checked 5 days prior): Total cholesterol elevated (full values pending record review); LDL-C, HDL-C, and triglycerides to be documented
Recommended Investigations:
Haematology:
- Complete blood count (CBC)
Biochemistry:
- Fasting lipid profile: Total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C, triglycerides, non-HDL-C
- Fasting blood glucose and HbA1c (diabetes monitoring)
- Thyroid function tests: TSH, free T4 (to exclude hypothyroidism as secondary cause)
- Renal function: serum creatinine, eGFR, urea (history of kidney stones)
- Liver function tests: AST, ALT, ALP (baseline before statin therapy and to exclude hepatic causes)
- Creatine kinase (CK) - baseline statin monitoring (no current myopathy)
- Uric acid (pancreatitis risk panel)
- Electrolytes: Na, K
Urinalysis:
- Urine dipstick and microscopy (history of kidney stones)
- Urine protein/creatinine ratio
Imaging:
- Abdominal ultrasonography (liver, gallbladder, kidney - history of kidney stones and prior abdominal pain)
- ECG (cardiovascular symptoms: chest pain, palpitations)
- Consider echocardiogram and stress testing given exertional dyspnea and chest pain
- Ankle-brachial index (ABI) for claudication assessment
Interpretation of Investigation Results (Pending):
- Elevated total cholesterol confirmed on prior blood test - full lipid profile values awaited
- Thyroid status must be interpreted to exclude secondary dyslipidemia
- Liver and renal function needed to guide statin dosing and safety
- CK baseline required before intensifying statin therapy
Definitive Diagnosis:
- Dyslipidemia (hypercholesterolaemia) - to be further classified as primary vs. secondary once workup is complete
Comorbidities:
- Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
- Thyroid disease (prior)
- Nephrolithiasis (prior)
10. Treatment
A. Non-Pharmacological Treatment:
- Educate the patient and family about dyslipidemia, cardiovascular risk, treatment goals, medication adherence, and follow-up requirements
- Therapeutic lifestyle changes (TLC):
- Reduce saturated fat intake to <7% of total daily calories
- Eliminate trans-fatty acids from diet
- Increase dietary fibre (oats, legumes, vegetables)
- Reduce dietary cholesterol
- Maintain or achieve healthy body weight
- Regular aerobic exercise (150 minutes moderate intensity per week), adjusted for cardiovascular symptoms
- Encourage continued abstinence from alcohol
- Address menopausal status - cardiovascular risk counselling
- Monitor and manage associated conditions (diabetes, thyroid disease)
B. Pharmacological Treatment:
Lipid-Lowering Therapy:
- Continue current statin therapy (confirm agent and dose)
- Review LDL-C target based on cardiovascular risk category:
- High/very high risk (given symptoms, diabetes, family history): target LDL-C <1.4-1.8 mmol/L
- Consider intensifying statin dose or switching to high-intensity statin (atorvastatin 40-80 mg or rosuvastatin 20-40 mg)
- If LDL-C target not achieved on maximal statin: consider ezetimibe 10 mg daily as add-on therapy
- If triglycerides remain markedly elevated (>10 mmol/L): consider fibrate therapy to reduce pancreatitis risk
- Monitor for statin-related adverse effects: myalgia, elevated CK, transaminitis
Management of Diabetes:
- Continue current diabetes medication
- Aim for HbA1c <7.0% (or individualised target)
- Note: GLP-1 agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors also carry cardiovascular and lipid benefits
Cardiovascular Risk Reduction:
- Investigate chest pain and exertional dyspnea urgently (ECG, stress test, cardiology review)
- Consider antiplatelet therapy (aspirin or clopidogrel) if established cardiovascular disease is confirmed
- Evaluate for peripheral artery disease (ankle-brachial index)
Thyroid Management:
- Check current thyroid status (TSH, free T4)
- If hypothyroidism confirmed: initiate or optimise levothyroxine therapy - lipid profile may improve with thyroid normalisation
Pre-treatment Screening / Safety Monitoring:
- CBC, liver function tests (AST, ALT), renal function (creatinine, eGFR), CK before intensifying therapy
- Hepatitis B and C screening prior to initiating or intensifying statin therapy
Monitoring Plan:
- Repeat fasting lipid panel at 6-8 weeks after medication adjustment
- Monitor liver enzymes and CK at baseline and at 6-12 weeks if dose is increased
- Monitor HbA1c and fasting glucose every 3 months
- Monthly clinic follow-up to be continued as per current practice
- Annual cardiovascular risk reassessment
Management of Comorbidities:
- Continue all current medications for diabetes and dyslipidemia
- Reassess thyroid medication if hypothyroidism is confirmed or worsening
- Urology/nephrology review for kidney stone history as appropriate
- Regular monitoring of blood glucose, HbA1c, lipid profile, thyroid function, and renal function

5. Case Summary
A female patient (menopausal) presented for a routine health check-up during which dyslipidemia (high blood cholesterol) was detected. She had been previously taking cholesterol and blood sugar medications and visits the doctor monthly. She was admitted once before for 5 days. She reports a prior history of stomach pain and weight loss; there is currently no abdominal pain.
Her mother had high cholesterol. First-degree relatives also have high cholesterol. Family history includes recurrent pancreatitis. She has a history of thyroid disease (around August last year), Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (diagnosed approximately 1 year ago), and kidney stones. She also has a past emergency C-section.
On review, she has cardiovascular symptoms: chest pain, shortness of breath on exertion, palpitations, and leg pain while walking. No history of stroke or TIA. Xanthelasma is present; no tendon xanthomas. No muscle pain or weakness on current statin therapy. No abdominal pain. No nausea or vomiting. Diet is high in saturated fat with reduced sugar. Does not drink alcohol. Eats 3 meals per day. No excessive thirst. No sleep difficulty.
Subjective Symptoms:
- High blood cholesterol
- Chest pain
- Shortness of breath on exertion
- Palpitations
- Leg pain while walking
- Prior stomach pain (resolved)
- Weight loss (prior)
Objective Findings:
- Xanthelasma present
- No tendon xanthomas
- No jaundice, no oedema
- No statin-related myopathy
- Elevated cholesterol on blood tests (checked 5 days prior)
Past History:
- Dyslipidemia (on treatment)
- Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
- Thyroid disease (around August last year)
- Kidney stones
- Emergency C-section
6. Problem List
- Dyslipidemia (high blood cholesterol) - on medication
- Cardiovascular symptoms: chest pain, exertional dyspnea, palpitations, leg pain on walking
- Xanthelasma
- Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
- Thyroid disease (past - August last year)
- Kidney stones (past)
- High saturated fat diet
- Positive family history: high cholesterol (first-degree relatives + mother), recurrent pancreatitis
- Menopausal status
7. Diagnosis
Preliminary Diagnosis:
Dyslipidemia (hypercholesterolaemia)
Differential Diagnosis:
- Primary (familial) hypercholesterolaemia - strong family history (mother + first-degree relatives) and xanthelasma
- Secondary dyslipidemia due to hypothyroidism - history of thyroid disease must be excluded
- Secondary dyslipidemia due to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
- Mixed hyperlipidaemia with hypertriglyceridaemia - family history of recurrent pancreatitis raises concern
- Drug-induced dyslipidemia
8. Clinical Discussion
The diagnosis of dyslipidemia is supported by elevated blood cholesterol detected on routine testing (checked 5 days prior), the presence of xanthelasma, and a strong family history of high cholesterol in the mother and first-degree relatives.
The cardiovascular symptoms - chest pain, exertional dyspnea, palpitations, and claudication-type leg pain - raise concern for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and require urgent further evaluation (ECG, cardiology review).
Secondary causes must be excluded. Hypothyroidism is a well-known cause of secondary dyslipidemia; the patient had thyroid disease around August last year and thyroid function must be re-evaluated. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (diagnosed one year ago) can further worsen the lipid profile, typically elevating triglycerides and lowering HDL-C.
The family history of recurrent pancreatitis raises the possibility of familial hypertriglyceridaemia, which could significantly alter management, particularly regarding triglyceride-lowering therapy.
No statin-induced myopathy is present - the patient reports no muscle pain or weakness on current cholesterol medication. No alcohol consumption excludes alcohol-related hypertriglyceridaemia. Menopausal status is an additional risk factor for adverse lipid changes.
Diet (high saturated fat) is a modifiable contributing factor.
9. Investigations

5. Case Summary
Ms. Ly Chuong Kin, a 45-year-old menopausal female, was admitted with abnormal blood results showing mixed hyperlipidaemia on routine check-up. Background history includes Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, previous thyroid disease, kidney stones, and prior emergency C-section. Family history is positive for dyslipidaemia and recurrent pancreatitis. She reports fatigue and a high saturated fat diet. On examination she was haemodynamically stable, BMI 23, abdomen soft, no cardiovascular symptoms, no xanthelasma, no myopathy. Ultrasound revealed fatty liver.
Subjective:
- Fatigue
- High saturated fat diet
Objective:
- Mixed hyperlipidaemia on blood tests
- Fatty liver on abdominal ultrasound
- Mild anaemia (Hb 11.9 g/dL)
- Stable vital signs; BMI 23
Past History:
- Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
- Previous thyroid disease
- Kidney stones
- Prior stomach pain and weight loss (resolved)
- Emergency C-section
6. Problem List
- Mixed hyperlipidaemia - elevated total cholesterol and triglycerides, low HDL-C
- Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
- Previous thyroid disease
- Fatty liver
- Mild anaemia
- High saturated fat diet
- Positive family history of dyslipidaemia and recurrent pancreatitis
- Menopausal status
- History of kidney stones
7. Differential Diagnosis
| Diagnosis | Reason |
|---|---|
| Primary (familial) combined hyperlipidaemia | Strong family history of high cholesterol in mother and first-degree relatives; mixed pattern with both elevated cholesterol and triglycerides |
| Secondary dyslipidaemia due to thyroid disease | History of thyroid disease - hypothyroidism is a well-known cause of secondary dyslipidaemia; thyroid function must be assessed |
| Secondary dyslipidaemia due to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus | Diabetes characteristically elevates triglycerides and lowers HDL-C, matching this patient's lipid pattern |
| Secondary dyslipidaemia due to fatty liver / hepatic cause | Fatty liver confirmed on ultrasound; hepatic dysfunction can contribute to dyslipidaemia |
| Drug-induced dyslipidaemia | Patient is on multiple medications; certain drugs (e.g. antithyroid agents, antidiabetics) can influence lipid metabolism |
