His blood test showed that his total cholesterol was 7.8 mmol\/L and his low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was 13.5 mmol\/L. As per NICE guidelines, at what level of LDL-C, diagnosis of Homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia should be considered?   If LDL-C concentration greater than 9 mmol\/L   If LDL-C concentration greater than 10 mmol\/L   If LDL-C concentration greater than 11 mmol\/L   If LDL-C concentration greater than 12 mmol\/L\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eIf LDL-C concentration greater than 13 mmol\/L\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Learning Point \u003c\/strong\u003e Consider a clinical diagnosis of homozygous FH in adults with a low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration greater than 13 mmol\/l and in children\/young people with an LDL-C concentration greater than 11 mmol\/l. \u003cstrong\u003eExplanation \u003c\/strong\u003e NICE recommends: Healthcare professionals should consider a clinical diagnosis of homozygous FH in adults with a low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration greater than 13 mmol\/l and in children\/young people with an LDL-C concentration greater than 11 mmol\/l.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll people with a clinical diagnosis of homozygous FH should be offered referral to a specialist centre. To confirm a diagnosis of FH, healthcare professionals should undertake two measurements of LDL-C concentration because biological and analytical variability occurs. Healthcare professionals should be aware that the absence of clinical signs (for example, tendon xanthomata) in adults and children\/young people does not exclude a diagnosis of FH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42954627219554,"sku":"MED-AMB07081","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/9549\/6802\/files\/OnExamination-SCE-in-Endocrinology-and-Diabetes-Updated-Feb-2023-PDF.jpg?v=1779381119","url":"https:\/\/meducourse.com\/products\/onexamination-sce-in-endocrinology-and-diabetes-updated-feb-2023-pdf","provider":"Meducourse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
