The Manual of Lipidology serves as a comprehensive guide tailored for endocrinologists and trainees, focusing on the intricate field of lipidology. It delves into various therapeutic options and evolving techniques, providing a detailed exploration of dyslipidemia management across specific population sectors.

Lipidology primarily deals with the study of cholesterol, particularly in relation to finding effective treatments for high cholesterol and other lipid disorders. The Manual of Lipidology is structured into four distinct sections. The initial section offers an overview of the specialty, laying the groundwork for a deeper understanding of clinical aspects, including dietary considerations, cardiovascular disease, and the significance of lipid markers and good cholesterol.

Subsequent sections address therapeutic lipidology, encompassing lifestyle modifications like diet and exercise, as well as pharmacological interventions such as statins and HDL-targeted therapies. The text also explores innovative treatments like PCSK9 inhibitors, which are designed to lower blood cholesterol levels. Finally, the book examines dyslipidemia in various population groups, including children, pregnant women, the elderly, HIV patients, and those with chronic kidney disease, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of lipid management across diverse demographics.
