What causes cholesterol to increase suddenly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lab error: Cholesterol revels are dominantly genetically based, with gradual rises with increasing age. Good and bad diets cause some modest fluctuations. Egregiously bad diets, like vacation on cruise ships, fad high fat diets, some acne medications, etc., thyroid or kidney disorders, can cause rather abrupt changes as well. Usually, a lab error is the culprit.
