Explanation  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. All 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\/div\u003e","brand":"meducours","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42954322542690,"sku":"MED-AMB01358","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/9549\/6802\/files\/40PhotoFixerBot_19-32-09_UTC.jpg?v=1779371286","url":"https:\/\/meducourse.com\/products\/onexamination-sce-in-endocrinology-and-diabetes-updated-feb-2023","provider":"Meducourse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
