Abstract

Nearly 30% of patients with lipid profile abnormalities suffer from secondary dyslipidaemias. Endocrine disorders are one of the most important causes of dyslipidaemia. Dyslipidaemia can be observed in the pathologies of a variety of endocrine glands, including the thyroid, the pituitary, the adrenals, and the gonads. The most common endocrinopathy causing dyslipidaemia is hypothyroidism.

In this paper, we review the lipid profile alterations observed in endocrinopathies. We describe changes in classic lipid profile parameters, including total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides. However, we also focus on the influence of endocrine disorders on relatively new cardiovascular markers such as apolipoprotein B, apolipoprotein A1, and lipoprotein(a). While almost all endocrinopathies cause detrimental changes to the lipid profile, hyperthyroidism seems to be a disorder in which lowering of such parameters as total cholesterol, low-density cholesterol, and triglycerides can be observed. Comprehensive screening for endocrine disorders should always be included in the differential diagnostic process of secondary causes of dyslipidaemia.

Early detection and treatment of endocrinopathy have a considerable impact on a patient’s health. Proper treatment of those disorders plays a crucial role in modifying the cardiovascular risk and improving the lipid profile of those patients. Even though lipid-lowering therapy is usually still needed, in some cases restoration of hormonal balance might be sufficient to normalize the lipid profile abnormalities.
