Under what physiological status is Hypercholesterolemia? Is it endocrine/metabolic or cardiovascular?

Answer 1

both, I guess...it could be a primary endocrine problem causing it or a metabolic condition (familial hypercholesterolemia) but it affects your cardiovascular system more than it affects most other systems in the body, and most high cholesterol is managed to decrease the cardiovascular risk factors.

Answer 2

I would put it under cardiovascular, that is where it is usually located on physical and history forms. It affects the cardiac system, so that makes sense to me too.

Answer 3

Hypothyrodism-A disorder in which the thyroid gland produces too little thyroid hormone causing a decrease in the rate of metabolism with associated effects on the reproductive system. Symptoms include fatigue, difficulty swallowing, mood swings, hoarse voice, sensitivity to cold, forgetfulness, and dry/coarse skin and hair. A disorder in which the thyroid gland produces too little thyroid hormone causing a decrease in the rate of metabolism with associated effects on the reproductive system. Symptoms include fatigue, difficulty swallowing, mood swings, hoarse voice, sensitivity to cold, forgetfulness, and dry/coarse skin and hair. Hyperthyrodism-Thyroid hormones stimulate the metabolism of cells. They are produced by the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is located in the lower part of the neck, below the Adam's apple. The gland wraps around the windpipe (trachea) and has a shape that is similar to a butterfly formed by two wings (lobes) and attached by a middle part (isthmus) The thyroid gland removes iodine from the blood (which comes mostly the diet in foods such as seafood, bread, and salt) and uses it to produce thyroid hormones. The two most important thyroid hormones are thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) representing 99.9% and 0.1% of thyroid hormones respectively. The hormone with the most biological activity (i.e., the greates effect on the body) is actually T3. Once released from the thyroid gland into the blood, a large amount of T4 is converted to T3--the more active hormone that affects the metabolism of cells. Pathologically excessive production of thyroid hormones. The condition resulting from excessive activity of the thyroid gland, characterized by increased basal metabolism.
