In western societies, most dyslipidemias are hyperlipidemias; that is, an elevation of lipids in the blood, often due to diet and lifestyle. The prolonged elevation of insulin levels can lead to dyslipidemia. Hypercholesterolemia (literally: high blood cholesterol) is the presence of high levels of cholesterol in the blood. ...

Classification

There are two major ways in which dyslipidemias are classified:

• Phenotype, or the presentation in the body (including the specific type of lipid that is increased)
• Etiology, or the reason for the condition (genetic, or secondary to another condition.) This classification can be problematic, because most conditions involve the intersection of genetics and lifestyle issues. However, there are a few well defined genetic conditions that are usually easy to identify.

Individuals in the mollusk species Donax variabilis show diverse coloration and patterning in their phenotypes. ... This article is about the medical term. ...

Types

Increases

These conditions are discussed in greater detail at hyperlipidemia.

• Hyperlipidemia: lipids
  • Hypercholesterolemia: cholesterol
  • Hyperglyceridemia: glycerides
    • Hypertriglyceridemia: triglycerides
• Hyperlipoproteinemia: lipoproteins (usually LDL unless otherwise specified)
  • Hyperchylomicronemia: chylomicrons
• Combined hyperlipidemia: both LDL and triglycerides

Familial hypercholesterolemia is a specific form of hypercholesterolemia due to a defect on chromosome 19 (19p13.1-13.3). Hypercholesterolemia (literally: high blood cholesterol) is the presence of high levels of cholesterol in the blood. ... Figure 1: Basic lipid structure. ... Cholesterol is a sterol (a combination steroid and alcohol), a lipid found in the cell membranes of all body tissues, and is transported in the blood plasma of all animals. ... Glycerides are esters formed from glycerol and fatty acids. ... Triglyceride (blue: fatty acid; red: glycerol backbone) Triglycerides are glycerides in which the glycerol is esterified with three fatty acids. ... A lipoprotein is a biochemical assembly that contains both proteins and lipids and may be structural or catalytic in function. ... Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) refers to a class and range of lipoprotein particles, varying somewhat in their size and contents, which carry cholesterol in the blood and around the body, for use by various cells. ... Chylomicrons are large lipoprotein particles (having a diameter of 75 to 1,200nm) that are created by the absorptive cells of the small intestine. ... Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) refers to a class and range of lipoprotein particles, varying somewhat in their size and contents, which carry cholesterol in the blood and around the body, for use by various cells. ... Triglyceride (blue: fatty acid; red: glycerol backbone) Triglycerides are glycerides in which the glycerol is esterified with three fatty acids. ... In medicine, familial hypercholesterolemia is a rare disease characterised by very high LDL cholesterol and early cardiovascular disease running in families. ... Chromosome 19 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. ...
