Dyslipidemia Abnormalities in the serum levels of LIPIDS, including

overproduction or deficiency. Abnormal serum lipid

profiles may include high total CHOLESTEROL, high

TRIGLYCERIDES, low HIGH DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN

CHOLESTEROL, and elevated LOW DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN

CHOLESTEROL

Hyperlipidaemia

Conditions with abnormally elevated levels of

LIPOPROTEINS in the blood. They may be inherited,

acquired, primary, or secondary. Hyperlipoproteinemias are

classified according to the pattern of lipoproteins on

electrophoresis or ultracentrifugation

e=4717

A type of familial lipid metabolism disorder characterized by a

variable pattern of elevated plasma CHOLESTEROL and/or

TRIGLYCERIDES. Multiple genes on different chromosomes may

be involved, such as the major late transcription factor

(UPSTREAM STIMULATORY FACTORS) on CHROMOSOME 1

Hyperlipoproteinemia, familial type 5

http://www.diseasesdatabase.com/links1.asp?glngUserChoic

e=30149

A severe type of hyperlipidemia, sometimes familial, that it is

characterized by the elevation of both plasma CHYLOMICRONS

and TRIGLYCERIDES contained in VERY-LOW-DENSITY

LIPOPROTEINS. Type V hyperlipoproteinemia is often

associated with DIABETES MELLITUS and is not caused by

reduced LIPOPROTEIN LIPASE activity as in

HYPERLIPOPROTEINEMIA TYPE I

Hypoprebetalipoproteinemia

A condition with abnormally low levels of PREBETA-

LIPOPROTEINS in the blood
