Abstract
Dyslipidaemia is a leading metabolic disordercharacterized by an incongruity in the blood lipid levels, which may both go too low or too high affecting the overall health status of an individual. It can be asymptomatic in the early stage and its progression may lead to the hardening of arteries; if left untreated, it may result indevelopment of cardio-vascular (MI), cerebro-vascular (stroke), and peripheral vascular diseases in the last decade of life.Dyslipidaemia has become a global call for cardiovascular diseases, mainly when it is associated with risk factors like obesity. The major killer in obesity is atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, as dyslipidaemia in terms of several deleterious plasma lipid and lipoproteins abnormalities occur in obesity.Concept of Dusumat-e-Dam (presence of fatty substances in blood circulation), mentioned in Unani literature, attains immense importance in view of dyslipidaemia, as Dusumat-e-Dam(lipidemia), Siman Mufrit (obesity), and Shaham (fat), are inter-related with each other. Based on risk factors, etiology, pathogenesis, prevention, management, and complications,dyslipidaemia strongly simulates with Siman Mufrit. In this paper, authors have tried to present a correrational discourse ofdyslipidaemia with SimanMufritas per Unani literature.
