Lipid Metabolism conditions
Dysbetalipoproteinemia (Type III)Dysbetalipoproteinemia (Type III) is a genetic lipid disorder causing impaired clearance of remnant lipoproteins, leading to elevated cholesterol and triglycerides.Hypercholesterolemia (Type IIa)Hypercholesterolemia Type IIa is a genetic disorder causing elevated LDL cholesterol due to LDL receptor defects, leading to premature atherosclerosis.Hypercholesterolemia (Type IIb)Hypercholesterolemia Type IIb involves elevated LDL and VLDL cholesterol due to combined hyperlipidemia, increasing risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.Hypertriglyceridemia (Type IV)Hypertriglyceridemia Type IV involves elevated VLDL levels causing increased triglycerides, often linked to insulin resistance and presents with mild to moderate hyperlipidemia.
