Secondary dyslipidemia has various causes. Drug-induced dyslipidemia is classified as secondary dyslipidemia. Recent lifestyle changes and the aging of the population have resulted in an increased inci- dence of dyslipidemia, accompanying that of metabolic disorders. Thus, various medications for metabolic disorders, including diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension, have been developed. Therefore, the fre- quency of drug-induced dyslipidemia in secondary hyperlipidemia is increasing. In clinical practice, primary dyslipidemia and common secondary dyslipidemia, such as endocrine diseases, hepatic and renal diseases, and immune disorders, must be excluded. Following this exclusion, the diagnosis of drug-induced dyslipidemia can proceed. In this review, we summarize the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of drug- induced dyslipidemia. [Review].
