hyperlipoproteinemia
- Familial hyperlipidemias are classified according to the Fredrickson classification (hyperlipoproteinemia types I to V) which is based on lipoprotein analyses by electrophoresis or ultracentrifugation. (kegg.jp)
- A pattern compatible with hyperlipoproteinemia type IIa on the Fredrickson classification is typically found: raised level of total cholesterol, markedly raised level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), normal level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and normal level of triglycerides. (wikipedia.org)
Classification
- 15 In 1967, The New England Journal of Medicine published "Fat transport in lipoproteins-an integrated approach to mechanisms and disorders," a 5-part description of the system that came to be known as the Fredrickson Classification of the Hyperlipidemias. (ahajournals.org)
- Familial hyperlipidemias are classified according to the Fredrickson classification, which is based on the pattern of lipoproteins on electrophoresis or ultracentrifugation. (wikipedia.org)
- Fredrickson Classification: Testing the general population under the age of 40 without symptoms is of unclear benefit. (wikipedia.org)

- Simvastatin tablet has not been studied in Fredrickson Types I and V dyslipidemias. (nih.gov)
dyslipidemias
- WELCHOL has not been studied in Fredrickson Type I, III, IV, and V dyslipidemias. (nih.gov)
lipids
- Hyperlipidemias are also classified according to which types of lipids are elevated. (kegg.jp)
- Hyperlipidemia is abnormally elevated levels of any or all lipids or lipoproteins in the blood. (wikipedia.org)
lipoprotein cholesterol
- reduce elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in adults with primary hyperlipidemia as monotherapy or in combination with a hydroxymethyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase inhibitor (statin) ( 1.1 ). (nih.gov)
adults with primary
- WELCHOL is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to reduce elevated low-density lipoproteincholesterol ( LDL - C ) in adults with primary hyperlipidemia ( Fredrickson Type IIa) as monotherapy or in combination with a hydroxymethyl-glutaryl- coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase inhibitor (statin). (rxlist.com)
metabolism
- Hyperlipidemias can be classified as familial (also called primary) caused by an inherited gene mutation, or acquired (also called secondary) when resulting from underlying disorders that lead to alterations in plasma lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. (kegg.jp)
- Hyperlipidemias may basically be classified as either familial (also called primary) caused by specific genetic abnormalities, or acquired (also called secondary) when resulting from another underlying disorder that leads to alterations in plasma lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. (wikipedia.org)
primary
- Reduce elevated TG and VLDL-C in patients with primary dysbetalipoproteinemia (Fredrickson type III hyperlipidemia). (drugs.com)
- Hyperlipidemias are divided into primary and secondary subtypes. (wikipedia.org)
- Primary hyperlipidemia is usually due to genetic causes (such as a mutation in a receptor protein), while secondary hyperlipidemia arises due to other underlying causes such as diabetes. (wikipedia.org)
elevation
