Hyperlipidemia communication

Minority and low socioeconomic communities may be targets for more widespread CKD screening programs. Other factors, such as hyperlipidemia, are not directly proven to cause CKD, but can be modified by drug therapies. 

Hyperlipidemia management can exist wherever pharmacists practice, including community pharmacies, institution-based or free-standing ambulatory clinics, or inpatient services. Despite these different settings, some universal requirements need to be addressed.
