Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Tarek Nafee, M.D. [2] ## Overview[edit | edit source] Hyperlipoproteinemia (also known as hyperlipidemia or high lipoproteins) is defined as presence of high levels of one or more type of lipoproteins. Hyperlipoproteinemia may be caused by primary genetic disorders or as a secondary complications of underlying medical conditions. After ruling out common secondary causes of hyperlipoproteinemia, the clinician must begin the work-up for primary causes. Patients with hyperlipoproteinemia may present with elevated LDL, HDL, or triglycerides. Hyperlipoproteinemias have a high clinical significance due to the increased risk of cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and peripheral arterial disease which they confer. Other complications of long-standing hyperlipidemia (specifically hypertriglyceridemia) may include pancreatitis, and steatohepatitis. Primary causes of hyperlipoproteinemia have been classified into 5 subtypes by Friedrickson. The exact genetic cause of these conditions is not clearly understood. Secondary causes of hyperlipoproteinemia are more common and workup must be targeted at excluding them prior to evaluating primary causes. Regardless of the underlying pathogenesis of the disease, management is targeted at normalizing the affected lipid or lipoproteins either pharmacologically or by lifestyle modifications. However, gene therapy has been a subject of several investigational therapies aiming to treat familial hyperlipoproteinemias at the genomic level.[1] ## Causes[edit | edit source] To view a full list of causes of hypercholesterolemia click here To view a full list of causes of hypertriglyceridemia click here The table below gives a synopsis of the lipid profile of the most common causes of secondary hyperlipidemias: Diseases | LDL | HDL | Triglycerides | Total Cholesterol | Diagnostic test(s) | | | | | Diabetes Mellitus[2][3] | * Fasting glucose * Hemoglobin A1C * Oral glucose tolerance test Alcohol Abuse[4][5][6] | * Patient history * CAGE questionnaire Estrogen Therapy[7] | * Patient history * History of menopause Glucocorticoid therapy[8][9][10] | ↑ or N * Patient history * History of long-standing autoimmune disease Renal Disease[11][12] [12] [6] | ↓ or N * BUN/Cr * eGFR * Urinalysis for proteinuria * BMP for electrolyte disturbances Obesity[13] | * General appearance * Body Mass Index Pregnancy[14] | * Urinary or Serum B-hCG * Pelvic ultrasound Paraproteinemic disorders[15][16] | * Serum protein electrophoresis * ESR Hypothyroidism[17][18] | ↑↑↑ ↑ or N * Thyroid panel (TSH↑, T3/T4↓) * History of weight gain, somnolence, fatigue ## Classification[edit | edit source] Hyperlipoproteinemias are classified into primary and secondary based on the etiology.

In 2016, the [United States Preventive Services Task Force]] recommended treating based on the pooled cohort calculation of cardiac risk (example online calculator) which requires total cholesterol, LDL-C and HDL-C[21]. In 2017, the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists and American College Of Endocrinology made joint recommendations for screening[22][23]. ### Screening in children and adolescents[edit | edit source] Lipid screening recommendations vary by age and risk factors as shown below:[24][25] [26] Pediatric dyslipidemia screening guidelines from the 2011 Expert Panel Integrated Guidelines for Cardiovascular Health and Risk Reduction in Children and Adolescents Age | Screening recommendation | Reommendation level birth- <2years | No lipid screening | C 2-8years ( No routine lipid screening, however screen if one of the following is present using FLP two times) | Parent, grandparent, aunt/uncle, or sibling with myocardial infarction (MI), angina, stroke, coronary artery bypass graft Strongly recommend (CABG)/stent/angioplasty at <55 years in males, <65 years in females | B Parent with TC ≥ 240 mg/dL or known dyslipidemia | B Child has diabetes, hypertension, BMI ≥ 95th percentile or smokes cigarettes | B Child has a moderate- or high-risk medical condition (eg. Diabetes mellitus type 1 and type 2, chronic renal disease/end-stage renal disease/ postrenal transplant, Postorthotopic heart transplant, Kawasaki disease with current aneurysms) | B 9-11years (Universal Screening) | Universal screening with a non-FLP screening using non-HDL-C levels ( Non-HDL–C = TC – HDL–C) when Non-HDL ≥ 145 mg/dL, HDL < 40 mg/dL check FLP × 2 | B Do further FLP if LDL–C ≥ 130 mg/dL, non-HDL–C ≥ 145 mg/dL HDL–C < 40 mg/dL, TG ≥ 100 mg/dL if < 10 years; ≥ 130 mg/dL if ≥ 10 years. Repeat FLP after 2 weeks but within 3 months | B 12-16years (Selective screening using FLP x 2) | Lipid screening is not recommended for those ages 12–16 years because of significantly decreased sensitivity and specificity for predicting adult LDL–C levels and significantly increased false-negative results in this age group. Selective screening ( Interval between FLP measurements: after 2 weeks but within 3 months) is recommended for those with the clinical indications outlined below: | B Parent, grandparent, aunt/uncle or sibling with MI, angina, stroke, CABG/stent/ Strongly recommend angioplasty, sudden death at < 55 years in males, < 65 years in females | B • Parent with TC ≥ 240 mg/dL or known dyslipidemia | B Patient has diabetes, hypertension, BMI ≥ 85th pr\ercentile or smokes cigarettes | B Patient has a moderate- or high-risk medical condition (eg. Diabetes mellitus type 1 and type 2, chronic renal disease/end-stage renal disease/ postrenal transplant, Postorthotopic heart transplant, Kawasaki disease with current aneurysms) | B 17-19years | Universal screening once during this time period with a nonfasting lipid screening using non-HDL-C levels. If Non-HDL-C ≥ 145 mg/dL, HDL-C < 40 mg/dL do FLP × 2, Further screening with FLP if LDL-C ≥ 130 mg/dL, non-HDL-C ≥ 145 mg/dL HDL-C < 40 mg/dL, TG ≥ 130 mg/dL repeat FLP after 2 weeks but within 3 months | B 17-21years | Universal screening once during this time period with a nonfasting lipid screening using non-HDL-C levels. If Non-HDL-C ≥ 190 mg/dL, HDL-C < 40 mg/dL do FLP × 2, Further screening with FLP when LDL-C ≥ 160 mg/dL, non-HDL-C ≥ 190 mg/dL, HDL-C < 40 mg/dL, TG ≥ 150 mg/dL repeat FLP after 2 weeks but within 3 months | B ## 2018 AHA/ACC/ Guideline on the Management of Blood Cholesterol (Do not edit please) [27][edit | edit source] ### Measurements of LDL-C and Non–HDL-C:[edit | edit source] Class I "1. In adults who are 20 years of age or older and not on lipid-lowering therapy, measurement of either a fasting or a nonfasting plasma lipid profile is effective in estimating ASCVD risk and documenting baseline LDL-C (Level of Evidence: B-NR) " "2. In adults who are 20 years of age or older and in whom an initial nonfasting lipid profile reveals a triglycerides level of 400 mg/dL or higher (≥4.5 mmol/L), a repeat lipid profile in the fasting state should be performed for assessment of fasting triglyceride levels and baseline LDL-C(Level of Evidence: B-NR) " [27] Class IIa "3. For adults with an LDL-C level less than 70 mg/dL (<1.8 mmol/L), measurement of direct LDL-C or modified LDL-C estimate is reasonable to improve accuracy over the Friedewald formula (Level of Evidence: C-LD) " "4. In adults who are 20 years of age or older and without a personal history of ASCVD, but with a family history of premature ASCVD or genetic hyperlipidemia, measurement of a fasting plasma lipid profile is reasonable as part of an initial evaluation to aid in the understanding and identification of familial lipid disorders(Level of Evidence:C-LD) " [27] ## Treatment and Management[edit | edit source] Mendelian randomization studies suggest a linear relationship between LDL and cardiac event reduction[28].

In patients with clinical ASCVD who are receiving maximally tolerated statin therapy and whose LDL-C level remains 70 mg/dL or higher (≥1.8 mmol/L), it may be reasonable to add ezetimibe (Level of Evidence B-R)". '' 5. In patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction attributable to ischemic heart disease who have a reasonable life expectancy (3 to 5 years) and are not already on a statin because of ASCVD, clinicians may consider initiation of moderate-intensity statin therapy to reduce the occurrence of ASCVD events (Level of Evidence B-R)''.
