Hyperlipidemia
hyperlipidemia
hyperlipidemia,
hyperlipidemia
combined hyperlipidemia a generic designation for a hyperlipidemia in which several classes of lipids are elevated; usually used to denote the phenotype of a type II-b hyperlipoproteinemia.
familial combined hyperlipidemia an inherited disorder of lipoprotein metabolism manifested in adulthood as hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, or a combination, with elevated plasma apolipoprotein B and premature coronary atherosclerosis.
mixed hyperlipidemia see under hyperlipemia.
remnant hyperlipidemia a form in which the accumulated lipoproteins are normally transient intermediates, chylomicron remnants, and intermediate-density lipoproteins; a generic descriptor for the type III hyperlipoproteinemia phenotype.
hy·per·lip·i·de·mi·a (h  p r-l p-d  m-) or hy·per·lip·oi·de·mi·a (-lpoi-dm-)n. An excess of lipids in the blood. Also called hyperlipemia, lipemia, lipidemia. |
Hyperlipidemia
A general term for elevated concentrations of any or all of the lipids in the plasma.

hyperlipidemia
[-lip′idē′mē·ə]
Etymology: Gk, hyper + lipos, fat, haima, blood
an excess of lipids, including glycolipids, lipoproteins, and phospholipids, in the plasma. Also spelled hyperlipidaemia. See also antilipidemic.
hyperlipidemia,
n an excess of lipids in the plasma, including the glycolipids, lipoproteins, and phospholipids.
hyperlipidemia
a general term for elevated concentrations of any or all of the lipids in the plasma. See also hyperlipoproteinemia.
postprandial hyperlipidemia
a normal increase following ingestion of food.
primary hyperlipidemia
caused by decreased activity of lipoprotein lipase, it occurs in miniature Schnauzer dogs.
secondary hyperlipidemia
may occur in association with diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, pancreatitis, hyperadrenocorticism, cholestatic liver disease and nephrotic syndrome.
hyperlipidemia
An ↑ of circulating lipids–fatty acids, TGs, and cholesterol, often linked to ↑ lipoproteins–hyperlipoproteinemia and/or ↓ degradative enzymes–eg, lipoprotein lipase. See Acquired
hyperlipidemia, Familial combined hyperlipidemia.
Hyperlipidemia
Primary Dyslipidemia intimately linked to CAD
Secondary
• Secondary hypercholesterolemia, seen in acute intermittent porphyria, cholestasis, hypothyroidism and pregnancy
• Secondary hypertriglyceridemia, seen in DM, acute alcohol intoxication, acute pancreatitis, gout, gram-negative sepsis, glycogen storage disease I, oral contraceptive use
• Combined hypercholesterolemia & hypertriglyceridemia, seen in nephrotic syndrome, chronic renal failure, corticosteroid therapy and immunosuppression
Note: 30-40% of the population is sensitive to dietary cholesterol and ↑ dietary cholesterol may ↑ cholesterol in the circulation
