What can be done False eating extremely high and fat cow food, cheese, and butter? Well, to something, your cholesterol level can arrive at such a stratospheric level that lipids begin to flow out of your blood vessels, forming yellowish nodules in your skin.

That is the horrific case of a person in Florida showing a Tampa hospital with a three-week history of painless, yellow blow in the palms of his hands, soles with his feet, and those elbow. His case is now published in Jama Cardiology.

The man, said aged for a forteen, told the doctors he adopted the “Karnivore Diet” eight months ago. Her food includes between 6 and 9 pounds of cheese, butter sticks, and daily hamburgers with more fat attached. Since taking this increase in the eyebrows of food, he claims that his weight has grown, his level of energy increased, and his “assumption of mental” improved.

Meanwhile, his general cholesterol levels exceed 1,000 mg / dl. For context, the optimal total cholesterol level Less than 200 mg / dlWhile 240 mg / dl is considered threshold for “height.” Noticed by cardiologists before continuing his fat food, his cholesterol is between 210 mg / DL to 300 mg / DL.

Cardiologists diagnosed the man with xanthelasma, a condition in which excess blood lipids drain from blood vessels and forms local lipid deposits. The escaped lipids are usually obtained by wandering white blood cells called Macrophage. However, in cases with xanthelasma, the amount of lipids is very large for macrophages, which turns foam cells with excessive cholesterol, which leads to visible deposits.

Such deposits are often seen around the eye (a condition called xanthelasma palpebrarum), often attacking people with lipid abnormality, such as familial hypercholesterolemia. It is believed that continued eye flashing in one’s life can weaken capillaries in place, allowing lipid infiltration. However, while it may be a more common display of condition, lipid deposits can occur anywhere in the body.

The painless yellowish nodules are observed in patient palms (a) and elbow. B, extended view of palmar injuries. These wounds are consistent with xanthelasma, likely resulting in severe hypercholesterolemia associated with a long fat carnivore food.

Xanthelasma-especially Xanthelasma palpebrarum-is Not always associated with high cholesterol and heart risks, but have high general cholesterol Strongly linked to Coronary Heart Disease.

Case Study does not provide a man’s view information. However, the authors write that the case “emphasizes the impact of dietary patterns at lipid levels and the importance of hypercholesterolemia to prevent complications.”
