hyperlipemia (redirected from hyperlipaemia)

hyperlipemia /hy·per·li·pe·mia/ (-lĭ-pe´me-ah) hyperlipidemia.

---

carbohydrate-induced hyperlipemia  elevated blood lipids, particularly triglycerides, after carbohydrate ingestion; sometimes used synonymously with hyperlipoproteinemia type IV or V phenotypes, or the genetic disorders causing them.

combined fat- and carbohydrate-induced hyperlipemia  persistently elevated blood levels of very-low-density lipoproteins and chylomicrons after ingestion of fat or carbohydrates; sometimes used synonymously with a type V hyperlipoproteinemia or the genetic disorders causing it.

endogenous hyperlipemia  elevated plasma lipids derived from body stores (i.e., very-low-density lipoproteins), rather than dietary sources; used as a generic descriptor of the type IV hyperlipoproteinemia phenotype.

essential familial hyperlipemia  an inherited disorder causing a type I hyperlipoproteinemia phenotype, or the phenotype itself.

exogenous hyperlipemia  elevated plasma levels of lipoproteins derived from dietary sources (i.e., chylomicrons); used as a generic descriptor of the type I hyperlipoproteinemia phenotype.

familial fat-induced hyperlipemia  persistently elevated blood chylomicrons after fat ingestion; sometimes used synonymously with hyperlipoproteinemia type I phenotype or the genetic disorders causing it.

mixed hyperlipemia  generic designation for a hyperlipoproteinemia in which several classes of lipoproteins are elevated; usually used to denote a type V phenotype, but sometimes used for a type II-b phenotype.

hyperlipemia

[-lipē′mē·ə]

an excessive level of blood fats, usually caused by a lipoprotein lipase deficiency or a defect in the conversion of low-density lipoprotein to high-density lipoprotein. The condition occurs in nephrotic syndrome and hypoalbuminemia.

hyperlipemia

an excess of lipids in the blood.

equine hyperlipemia

a metabolic disease of pony mares in late pregnancy or early lactation. The serum has milky opalescence. Clinically there is lethargy progressing to coma, diarrhea and acidosis. Most cases terminate fatally.
