Changes of Lipid Profile after the Initial Presentation. The patient had persistent hyperlipidemia during the entire observational period. Her total cholesterol and triglyceride levels both remained at levels above 10 times higher than normal, whereas the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were always below 10 mmol/L. TC = total cholesterol (mg/ml); LDL-C = low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (mg/ml); TG = triglycerides (mg/ml); and HDL-C = high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (mg/ml)
