The man bizarrely leaks cholesterol from his body. This was due to their diet
The cholesterol level of a man exceeded 1,000 mg/dL, with painless yellow nodules out of his body.
In a bizarre case, a man from Florida, US saw lipid (cholesterol) with his blood vessels, when he was recently shown at a Tampa Hospital. He experienced a painless, yellow explosion on the palms of his hands, the soles of his feet and the elbow for three weeks.
In his 40s, the man told the doctors that he had adopted a ānon -vegetarian dietā eight months before showing cholesterol on his body.
Non -vegetarian diet is known for rapid weight loss. It contains only animal proteins such as meat, fish and some dairy products such as eggs and butter. It is a type of ketogenic diet, which suggests that 70% to 75% should not exceed 10% from calorie fat, protein from protein, and carbohydrates.
The diet includes fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts and seeds.
Sharing the unique case in JAMA cardiology, doctors revealed that the manās diet included 2.7 kg of cheese, 4.1 kg butter and daily burgers, which had extra fat.
Since he was on this diet, the man claimed that his weight was reduced and his energy level had increased with better mental clarity.
Meanwhile, his cholesterol level exceeded 1,000 mg/dL. The normal cholesterol level should be lower than 200 mg/dL while above 240 mg/dL is considered high.
According to the report, the cardiologist said that before the man went on this non -vegetarian diet, his cholesterol was between 210 mg/dL to 300 mg/dL.
The man is diagnosed with Xanthelasma, a condition in which excess blood lipids leaked out of blood vessels and accumulate localized lipids. Although under normal conditions, these lipids will be taken by white blood cells called macrophages, in this case, the volume of the lipid was so large that it came out of the blood vessels and stored.
Experts have not shared with manās treatment. However, he has highlighted how the case emphasized the importance of managing hyperclesterolemia to prevent the effects of dietary patterns and complications at the level of lipids.
According to Harvard Medical School, long -term carnivorous diet can cause kidney stones, gout, and osteoporosis. Extreme high protein intake can also give rise to impaired kidney function.
While there are health benefits such as muscle construction and repair, it should not be adopted for a long time.
