Izitatimende yimithi kadokotela engasiza ukwehlisa amazinga akho e-cholesterol. I-cholesterol yinto enjenge-wax, efana namafutha. Kutholakala kuwo wonke amaseli omzimba. Umzimba wakho uyakwazi ukwenza yonke i-cholesterol oyidingayo ukuthi isebenze kahle. Izinga le-cholesterol lingangezelelwa ngokudla okudlayo, noma kunjalo.

Izinhlobo ezimbili ze-cholesterol ezikhona yi-high-density lipoproteins (HDL) kanye ne-low-density lipoproteins (LDL). I-HDL ibizwa nge-cholesterol “enhle”. Kuyasiza ukususa i-cholesterol eyeqile emzimbeni wakho. I-LDL, noma i- cholesterol “embi”, yakha imithambo yegazi emithanjeni yakho. Lokhu kungaholela emithanjeni evinjiwe, futhi le mithambo evinjiwe ingadala isifo senhliziyo noma isifo sohlangothi.

Ukuze unciphise ingozi yokuhlaselwa yisifo senhliziyo noma isifo sohlangothi, udokotela wakho angakutusa ukuthi uthathe umuthi we-statin. Le mithi yenzelwe abantu abane-cholesterol ephezulu noma abantu abasengozini yesifo senhliziyo. Izitatimende zisebenza ngezindlela ezimbili zokunciphisa izinombolo zakho ze-cholesterol:

1. Izitatimende zimisa ukukhiqizwa kwe-cholesterol. Okokuqala, ama-statins avimba i-enzyme edala i-cholesterol. Ukukhiqizwa okuncishisiwe kwehlisa inani eliphelele le-cholesterol etholakala egazini lakho.
2. Izitatimende zisiza ukubuyisela kabusha i-cholesterol ekhona. Umzimba wakho udinga i-cholesterol ukwenza imisebenzi ethile. Le misebenzi ifaka phakathi ukusiza ukugaya ukudla, wenze ama-hormone, futhi uthathe uvithamini D. Uma ama-statins ehlisa izinga lakho le-cholesterol, umzimba wakho awukwazi ukuthola i-cholesterol eyidingayo egazini lakho elijikelezayo. Esikhundleni salokho, umzimba wakho udinga ukuthola eminye imithombo ye-cholesterol. Lokhu ikwenza ngokubuyisela kabusha i-cholesterol eye yakha njengamapuleti aqukethe i-LDL emithanjeni yakho.

Bangaki abantu abasebenzisa ama-statins?

Abantu baseMelika abangaphezu kwamaphesenti angama-31 banamazinga e-LDL aphakeme kakhulu. Abantu abanamazinga aphezulu e-LDL banengozi ephindwe kabili yokuhlaselwa yisifo senhliziyo uma kuqhathaniswa nabantu abanamazinga anempilo e-cholesterol, ngokusho kwe (CDC).

Cishe amaphesenti angama-28 abantu baseMelika abaneminyaka engama-40 kuya kwengama-59 basebenzisa umuthi wokwehlisa i-cholesterol. Kancane kancane abantu abadala abangamaphesenti angama-23 babika ukuthi basebenzisa imishanguzo ye-statin kuphela. Ukwelashwa sekukonke kwe-cholesterol ephezulu kukhuphukile eminyakeni eyi-15 edlule. Njengoba izinombolo zokwelashwa zikhuphukile, izinombolo zezifo sehlile. Noma kunjalo, bangaphansi kwengxenye yabantu abadala abane-LDL ephezulu abathola ukwelashwa, ngokusho kwe.

Okungenziwa nokungafanele kwenziwe kokuthatha ama-statin

Uma uthatha ama-statin noma uhlela ukuthatha ama-statin kungekudala, kunokuningi okufanele ukwenze nokungafanele ukwenze.

Thobela imiyalo kadokotela wakho

Amazinga akho e-cholesterol ahlobene kakhulu nempilo yakho yonke. Yingakho kubaluleke kakhulu ukuhambisana nomyalelo kadokotela wakho futhi ugcine izinombolo zakho ze-cholesterol ebangeni elinempilo yenhliziyo.

Ungeqi imithamo

Uma kukhulunywa ngama-statins, ukweqa amanani kungakubiza impilo yakho. Ucwaningo lwango-2007 luthole ukuthi ukweqa umuthi we-statin ngaphezu kokuphindeka kabili kwengozi yakho yokuhlaselwa yisifo senhliziyo, isifo sohlangothi noma omunye umcimbi wenhliziyo. Lezi zimo zivikeleka ngokuphelele uma uthatha imithi yakho njengoba udokotela wakho ekuyalela.

Thola ukuhlolwa okuvamile

Uma uku-statins, udokotela wakho udinga ukuqapha igazi lakho kanye nempilo yonke ngezimpawu zezinkinga ezihlobene nomuthi. Yenza futhi ugcine ama-aphoyintimenti avamile okuhlolwa kwegazi nokuhlolwa. Imvamisa, ukuhlolwa kwegazi kuyindlela yokuqala futhi engcono kakhulu yokuthi udokotela wakho abone inkinga engaba khona ngaphambi kokuba ibe yingozi.

Ungayeki ukuthatha ama-statins ngaphandle kokukhuluma nodokotela wakho kuqala

Yonke imithi inemiphumela engemihle. Izitatimende azikhethi. Abanye abantu abathatha ama-statins bangaqaphela imiphumela emibi, kufaka phakathi ubuhlungu bemisipha nobuthakathaka. Le miphumela emibi ingangakhululeki kakhulu, kepha akufanele uyeke ukuthatha umuthi wakho ngenxa yawo uze ukhulume nodokotela wakho. I-statin ngayinye yehlukile, ngakho-ke udokotela wakho angakushintshela emithini emisha ukubona ukuthi iyayinciphisa yini imiphumela yakho emibi.

Phila impilo enempilo

Imithi ingasiza impela, kepha indlela yokugcina yokwenza impilo yakho ibe ngcono ukudla okungcono, ukuhambisa kakhulu, nokunakekela umzimba wakho. Kuyiqiniso ukuthi abantu abanesimo sezakhi zofuzo ku-cholesterol ephezulu basengalwa namazinga e-LDL ayingozi. Kodwa indlela yokuphila esezingeni eliphakeme ingasiza ekuvimbeleni izimo nezifo eziningi, kufaka phakathi lezo ezandisa ubungozi besifo senhliziyo.

Khuluma nodokotela wakho

Uma amazinga akho e-LDL ephakeme kunalokho obekufanele abe khona, khuluma nodokotela wakho ngendlela engcono yokubuyisela izinombolo zakho ebangeni eliphephile nelinempilo. Udokotela wakho angase aqale asikisele ushintsho ekudleni nasekuzivocavoca umzimba. Kwesinye isikhathi lezi zinguquko zendlela yokuphila zanele ukuguqula izinombolo zakho ze-cholesterol.

Izitatimende ziyindlela yokukhetha, kepha kungenzeka kungabi yisinyathelo sokuqala udokotela wakho afuna ukusizama. Okubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi uthathe isinyathelo sokuhlangana nodokotela wakho bese uthola isisombululo esikusiza ukuba uphile impilo enempilo, nenenjabulo.
