English to Spanish: Abnormal Cholesterol Result - Letter General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical: Health Care
Source text - English Recently you had a cholesterol test done. The cholesterol levels were abnormal. These are usually associated with increased risk for stroke and heart attack. I am writing this letter to you to let you know that your levels are high enough that I think intervention is the next best step. I would like you to make an appointment, if you are interested in treatment for this. There are several treatment options available at this time. Diet is one of the options, although there is limited reduction in total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol with dieting. Most of the time under strict diet patients can achieve a 15% reduction in cholesterol. If your cholesterol levels are moderate to severely elevated, usually diet is not the first line of therapy. If you are diabetic or have hypertension these two also increase your risk with the combination of hypercholesterolemia. Most of the time cholesterol that is elevated is from your genetic background and is independent of diet. New research shows that treatment of high cholesterol can decrease your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
Again, I am recommending at least we discuss medical treatment for hypercholesterolemia. Please consider calling for a followup appointment concerning your cholesterol levels. If you should have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am enclosing a copy of your lab results for your review.
Translation - Spanish Recientemente le hicieron una prueba de colesterol. Los niveles de colesterol resultaron ser anormales. Éstos niveles generalmente se asocian a un mayor riesgo de accidente cerebrovascular e infarto de miocardio. Le estoy escribiendo esta carta para informarle que sus niveles son lo suficientemente altos como para pensar que la intervención es el siguiente mejor paso. Me gustaría que concertara una cita, si está interesado en un tratar esto. Actualmente existen varias opciones de tratamiento. La dieta es una de las opciones, aunque la reducción del colesterol total y del colesterol LDL con dietas es limitada. La mayoría de las veces, con una dieta estricta, los pacientes pueden lograr una reducción del 15% del colesterol. Si sus niveles de colesterol son de moderados a muy elevados, normalmente la dieta no es la primera línea de tratamiento. Si usted es diabético o tiene hipertensión, estos dos también aumentan su riesgo con la combinación de hipercolesterolemia. En la mayoría de los casos, el colesterol elevado se debe a los antecedentes genéticos y es independiente de la dieta. Nuevas investigaciones demuestran que el tratamiento del colesterol alto puede disminuir el riesgo de desarrollar Alzheimer.
Repito, recomiendo que al menos discutamos el tratamiento médico de la hipercolesterolemia. Por favor, considere llamar para concertar una cita de seguimiento en relación con sus niveles de colesterol. Si tiene alguna pregunta, por favor, no dude en ponerse en contacto conmigo. Le adjunto una copia de sus resultados de laboratorio para que los revise.
