Approach on how to screen for dyslipidemia
For all patients
  • History and examination
  • LDL
  • HDL
  • TG
  • Non-HDL (will be calculated from profile: TC - HDL = non-HDL)
  • Glucose
  • eGFR
Optional
  • Apo B (instead of standard lipid panel)
  • Urine albumin: creatinine ratio (if eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2, hypertension or diabetes)
Framingham Risk Score <5%
Repeat every 3-5 years
Framingham Risk Score ≥5%
Repeat every year
