Hyperlipoproteinemia type I

Primary familial hyperlipoproteinemias are manifested as a syndrome caused by hereditary lipoprotein metabolism disorders. The patient's prognosis depends primarily on the type of lipoprotein that is elevated in the plasma or deposited in the blood vessels. Hyperlopoproteinemia Type Ⅰ is also known as lipoproteinase deficiency, familial hyperchylomicronemia, Burger-Gruz syndrome and so on. It is triggered by fats in food, hyperchylomicronemia caused by hereditary lipoproteinase deficiency, and lipoproteins with increased triglycerides are deposited in the internal organs and skin. The incidence is very low, and it is an autosomal recessive inheritance. It is mainly found in young children who go to the pediatric department for abdominal cramps.
