Hyperlipoproteinemia causes
Introduction
Overview
Overview
The causes of hyperlipoproteinemia are either familial, acquired or idiopathic. Familial (primary) causes are mainly due to genetic abnormalities and a few examples include familial hypercholesterolemia, familial combined hyperlipidemia and familial hypertriglyceridemia. Acquired (secondary) hyperlipoproteinemia often mimic primary forms of hyperlipoproteinemia and common causes include the use of drugs (diuretics, beta blockers and estrogens); endocrine disorders (diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism); metabolic disorders and renal causes such as renal failure.
