Here’s an example of the type of question you can expect in our revision guide:

Demo Question: A 43-year-old male presented to the hospital with acute myocardial infarction. His blood test showed that his total cholesterol was 7.8 mmol/L and his low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was 13.5 mmol/L. As per NICE guidelines, at what level of LDL-C, diagnosis of Homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia should be considered?

• If LDL-C concentration greater than 9 mmol/L
• If LDL-C concentration greater than 10 mmol/L
• If LDL-C concentration greater than 11 mmol/L
• If LDL-C concentration greater than 12 mmol/L
• If LDL-C concentration greater than 13 mmol/L

Key Learning Point: Consider a clinical diagnosis of homozygous FH in adults with a low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration greater than 13 mmol/l and in children/young people with an LDL-C concentration greater than 11 mmol/l.

Explanation: NICE recommends that healthcare professionals consider a clinical diagnosis of homozygous FH in adults with an LDL-C concentration greater than 13 mmol/l and in children/young people with an LDL-C concentration greater than 11 mmol/l. It is important to note that a diagnosis of FH should be confirmed with two measurements of LDL-C concentration to account for biological and analytical variability. Even if there are no clinical signs, such as tendon xanthomata, a diagnosis of FH cannot be ruled out.

By practicing with questions like these, you will build the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in your SCE in Endocrinology and Diabetes.
