What happens if the body has too much protein?

People should go to the hospital regularly to check their bodies. Such a physical examination can determine whether there are any abnormal reactions in their bodies and can find out more quickly. If the protein level in the human body is too high, it will still have adverse effects. However, it still depends on the severity of each person's condition. If the patient is serious, he may often experience dizziness.

Depending on the degree, the symptoms of hyperlipidemia vary. The main symptoms of hyperlipidemia can be divided into the following aspects:

1. Mild hyperlipidemia usually does not cause any discomfort, but the absence of symptoms does not mean that blood lipids are not high. Regular blood lipid checks are essential.

2. The general symptoms of hyperlipidemia include: dizziness, fatigue, insomnia, forgetfulness, limb numbness, chest tightness, palpitations, etc., which may be confused with the clinical symptoms of other diseases. Some patients have high blood lipids but no symptoms, and hyperlipidemia is often discovered during physical examinations and blood tests. In addition, hyperlipidemia is often accompanied by overweight and obesity.

3. When hyperlipidemia is severe, symptoms such as dizziness, headache, chest tightness, shortness of breath, palpitations, chest pain, fatigue, crooked mouth, inability to speak, and limb numbness will occur, which will eventually lead to serious diseases such as coronary heart disease and cerebral stroke, and corresponding symptoms will appear.

4. Long-term high blood lipids and atherosclerosis caused by lipid deposition in the vascular endothelium can cause coronary heart disease and peripheral arterial disease, etc., manifested as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, stroke and intermittent claudication (pain after limb movement).

5. A small number of patients with hyperlipidemia may also experience corneal arcus and lipidemia fundus changes. Corneal arcus is also known as senile ring. If it occurs in people under 40 years old, it is often accompanied by hyperlipidemia, especially familial hypercholesterolemia, but the specificity is not strong. The fundus changes in hyperlipidemia are due to the deposition of large triglyceride-rich lipoprotein particles on the retinal arterioles, causing light refraction. It is often a characteristic manifestation of severe hypertriglyceridemia accompanied by chylomicronemia. [1]

A large amount of research data shows that hyperlipidemia is a risk factor for stroke, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction and sudden death. In addition, hyperlipidemia is also an important risk factor for hypertension, impaired glucose tolerance, and diabetes. Hyperlipidemia can also lead to fatty liver, cirrhosis, cholelithiasis, pancreatitis, retinal hemorrhage, blindness, peripheral vascular disease, claudication, and hyperuricemia. Therefore, we must attach great importance to the harm of hyperlipidemia and actively prevent and treat it.

Hyperlipidemia is the main risk factor for human atherosclerotic diseases. Common atherosclerotic diseases include coronary heart disease (including myocardial infarction, angina pectoris and sudden death), cerebral infarction and peripheral vascular thromboembolic disease. These cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases have a high incidence rate, great harm, and dangerous progression. Their mortality rate accounts for about half of the total human mortality rate.

1. Hyperlipidemia is the pathological basis of aging in middle-aged and elderly people: lipids mainly include cholesterol and triglycerides. There are two main sources of blood lipids. One is exogenous, which is the lipid substances in our daily food that enter the blood after digestion and absorption; the other is endogenous, which is synthesized by the liver, fat cells and other tissues and released into the blood during the normal metabolism of the human body.
