What are the Histological Changes in Hyperlipidemia?
Hyperlipidemia, characterized by elevated levels of lipids in the blood, can lead to the deposition of lipids in various tissues. Histologically, this may present as lipid-laden macrophages, known as foam cells, within the walls of blood vessels. This accumulation can contribute to the development of atherosclerosis, visible as thickening and narrowing of arterial walls.
