A while ago there was a discussion on the effects of thiazide diuretics
on blood lipid levels in which it was stated that a 5-10% rise in lipid
levels occured.
The last time I went to see my doctor, I asked him about this and
he said that later studies showed that after an initial rise,
lipid levels returned to previous levels after about 4 months. I'm sorry
to say I don't have any other reference for this. In my own case testing
showed my blood lipid levels to be "better than average" - I've been taking
thiazide for about 4 years.
