Creative Tripwire - Familial Hypercholesterolemia (pt. 2)

Slide: 1
Does this mean I am sick? Can we fix this? I'm scared!
No, don't worry! This seems to be a case of Familial Hypercholesterolemia where a genetic mutation is passed from parent to child. Bella was born with high cholesterol levels, but we can manage this.
I see. What do we do now, doctor?
Slide: 2
I understand that this is a difficult time and that you would have many questions. I want to help you fully understand FH before starting treatment.As a next step, we can do genetic screening to identify what mutations Bella has. We can then analyze the results with the Dutch Lipid Network Criteria to understand the disease severity.
Slide: 3
Ok, that is good to hear. What about treatment options if FH is confirmed?
Can I still go to school? What about swimming practice?
Yes, you can still go to school and swimming practice! This will not affect your routine at all.As for treatment options, we usually prescribe statins, which is a cholesterol-lowering medication. We can also make some slight changes to your diet to reduce bad cholesterol.
