Blood protein disorders are medical conditions that affect the production or function of proteins in the blood. These disorders can be inherited or acquired and can lead to a variety of health problems, depending on the specific protein involved and how it is affected. Some examples of blood protein disorders include hemophilia (a disorder that affects clotting proteins), multiple myeloma (a cancer of plasma cells, which produce antibodies), and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (a genetic disorder that affects a protein involved in protecting the lungs). Treatment for these conditions varies depending on the specific diagnosis and may include medications, surgery, or other interventions.

Hyperlipoproteinemier är ett samlingsbegrepp för olika medfödda eller aquireda störningar i lipid- och lipoproteinstoffwechseln, vilket leder till ökade nivåer av serumlipider och/eller lipoproteiner. Det kan klassificeras utefter den dominerande lipoproteinfraktionen som är påverkad: chylomikroner, VLDL (very low-density lipoproteins), LDL (low-density lipoproteins) och HDL (high-density lipoproteins). Varje typ har olika arvsmassabaserade orsaker och kliniska manifestationer, inklusive ökad risk för aterosklerotisk sjukdom.
