Hyperchylomicronaemia - what does this mean
Hyperchylomicronaemia is a metabolic disorder caused by a genetic defect in the enzyme lipoprotein lipase, which is responsible for breaking down dietary fats into smaller molecules. this results in the accumulation of large, fat-rich particles called chylomicrons in the bloodstream, leading to a variety of symptoms such as abdominal pain, fatigue, and difficulty breathing.
What happens during the disease - hyperchylomicronaemia
Hyperchylomicronaemia is a disorder caused by an abnormality in the body's ability to metabolize dietary fats. it is characterized by abnormally high levels of chylomicrons, which are lipoproteins that transport dietary lipids from the intestine to the tissues. this abnormality is caused by a defect in the enzyme lipoprotein lipase, which is responsible for the breakdown of chylomicrons. without this enzyme, chylomicrons accumulate in the bloodstream, leading to a variety of metabolic problems and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
