How does LDL cause hypertension and diabetes?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Too much LDL ('bad') cholesterol in your bloodstream can form plaque on damaged artery walls. Once there is too much strain on the heart to pump blood then it leads to the onset of hypertension. Few research suggests that it also affects the pancreas hence it can also lead to diabetes.
