Signs of dyslipidemia are easily found on routine blood work. Symptoms of dyslipidemia on its own are rare. Infrequently, people may find xanthomas (hard fatty deposits of tissue on the skin or just under the skin) on their palms, eyelids, or tendons.[1]
Due to the rarity of dyslipidemia symptoms, and the common presence of other cardiovascular disease risk factors, clinicians will also often examine for high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and obesity if dyslipidemia is suspected.[2]
