Hyperlipoproteinemia type II

Hyperlipoproteinemia type II is divided into hyperlipoproteinemia type Ⅱa (hyperlipoproteinemia type Ⅱa) and hyperlipoproteinemia type Ⅱb (hyperlipoproteinemia type Ⅱb). Hyperlipoproteinemia type Ⅱa: also known as familial hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipoproteinemia and so on. It is a hereditary metabolic disorder manifested as hyperlipid β-proteinemia, and due to the lack or insufficiency of β-lipoprotein (LDL) receptors, intracellular cholesterol metabolism is reduced. Sexually inherited, homozygous serum cholesterol levels are greater than 400mg / L. Hyperlipoproteinemia type Ⅱb (hyperlipoproteinemia type Ⅱb): also known as hyper-beta-lipoproteinemia and hyper-beta-lipoproteinemia, hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterol Anemia, which is characterized by markedly elevated beta- and pre-beta-lipoproteins. Many patients do not have a clear family history.
