Art blood lipid levels linked to lipodystrophy? May 17, 2008 Does body shape altering lipdystrophy and/or lipoatrophy relate sometimes/always/never to blood lipid levels? Can HIV infection alone alter blood levels of lipids? |

 Hello and thanks for posting. Lipodystrophy is often found together with elevated blood lipid level so there is a clear linkage between the two. A common pattern is elevated triglyceride levels along with low HDL cholesterol. HIV infection has also been linked with high triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol independent of medication effects. | ||||||||
