Front (Question)

Common causes of low HDL? 12

Back (Answer)

• Visceral obesity (often associated with physical inactivity • insulin resistance) • type 2 diabetes and • HIV. (But wouldn’t expect severe) • High carbohydrate, low-fat diets • Diet rich in polyunsaturated fats • Hypertriglyceridemia • Metabolic syndrome • Cigarette smoking • Severe stress states i.e. sepsis or burns • Liver disease • Renal insufficiency

Front (Question)

Drugs associated with low HDL? 6

Back (Answer)

• Isotretinoin • Sirolimus • Protease inhibitors Lower by causing hypertriglyceridemia • Androgenic steroids • Nonselective beta-blockers • Recombinant interleukin-2 Lower by directly altering HDL metabolism by activation of hepatic lipase.
