	Hyperlipoproteinemia Type IV
		Hyperlipoproteinemia Type IV is one of a family of five types of hyperlipoproteinemia, which is an indicator of a risk of heart disease.
		Hyperlipoproteinemia Type II (familial hypercholesterolemia) is a hereditary disorder in which cholesterol accumulates in the blood (cholesterolemia), leading to the build-up of fatty deposits, especially in the coronary arteries.
		Hyperlipoproteinemia Type III is an uncommon hereditary disorder characterized by high levels of fat in the blood (cholesterolemia or lipidemia) in the form of VLDL cholesterol, and triglycerides.

	Hyperlipidemia Summary
		Hyperlipidemia, hyperlipoproteinemia or dyslipidemia is the presence of elevated or abnormal levels of lipids and/or lipoproteins in the blood.
		Lipids (fatty molecules) are transported in a protein capsule, and the density of the lipids and type of protein determines the fate of the particle and its influence on metabolism.
		Hyperlipoproteinemia type II Hyperlipoproteinemia type II, by far the most common form, is further classified into type IIa and type IIb, depending mainly on whether there is elevation in the triglyceride level in addition to LDL cholesterol.

	Lifespan's A - Z Health Information Library - Familial hypercholesterolemia
		A dominantly inherited genetic condition that results in markedly elevated LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol levels beginning at birth, and cause heart attacks at an early age.
		The outcome is likely to be poor in people with the homozygote type of familial hypercholesterolemia because it causes early heart attacks and is resistant to treatment.
		The outcome of other types of familial hypercholesterolemia depends in part on the patient's compliance with treatment, but reduction in serum cholesterol levels can be achieved and may be significant in delaying a heart attack.

	Hyperlipoproteinemia type II - Hyperlipoproteinemia type II
		Hyperlipoproteinemia type II - Hyperlipoproteinemia type II Hyperlipoproteinemia type II Hyperlipoproteinemia is the presence of elevated levels of lipoprotein in the blood.
		Hyperlipoproteinemias are classified according to the Fredrickson/WHO classification (Fredrickson et al 1967), which is based on the pattern of lipoproteins on electrophoresis or ultracentrifugation.
		Hyperlipoproteinemia type II Hyperlipoproteinemia Type II is hyperlipidemia (hypercholesterolemia) in the Fredrickson classification, which is determined by lipoprotein electrophoresis.

		Type I is a rare disorder and is characterized by severe elevations in chylomicrons and extremely elevated TGs, always well above 1000 mg/dL and as high as 10,000 mg/dL or higher.
		Type III also is known as dysbetalipoproteinemia, remnant removal disease, or broad-beta disease (see Dysbetalipoproteinemia).
		Patients with type III hyperlipidemia have elevations in intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), a VLDL remnant.

		The type IIb pattern is characterized by the accumulation of both LDL and VLDL, with variable elevations of both triglyceride levels and cholesterol levels in the plasma.
		Type III hyperlipidemia is characterized by the accumulation of IDL (beta-VLDL), which is manifested by increases in both triglyceride levels and cholesterol levels in the plasma.
		Involvement of the palmar creases is characteristic of type III dysbetalipoproteinemia.

		an autosomal dominant type of hypercalcemia with vague and mild symptoms.
		The biochemical phenotype, elevated plasma LDL and cholesterol, is that of a type II-a hyperlipoproteinemia; rarely, plasma very-low-density lipoproteins and triglycerides may also be elevated, a type II-b phenotype.
		The biochemical phenotype is that of a type I or type V hyperlipoproteinemia, depending on whether very-low-density lipoprotein levels are normal or elevated, respectively; the latter case is sometimes called hyperprebetalipoproteinemia.

	Broad Beta Disease
		Hyperlipoproteinemias are a group of inherited lipid storage and transport diseases that are characterized by excessive levels of certain fats (lipoproteins) in the blood.
		Hyperlipoproteinemia Type IV is an inborn error of metabolism characterized by an abnormal increase in the blood level of certain fats called triglycerides.
		Hyperlipoproteinemia Type IV usually leads to the degeneration of blood vessels, and heart disease.

		Type II Hyperlipoproteinemia An elevation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which may be primary or secondary.
		PRIMARY ELEVATIONS OF LDL(Primary Type II Hyperlipoproteinemia) Primary type II hyperlipoproteinemia includes several genetic conditions that lead to elevation of LDL, including familial hypercholesterolemia, familial combined hyperlipidemia, familial defective apolipoprotein B, and polygenic hypercholesterolemia.
		The fibric acid derivatives have little effect on plasma TC or LDL levels in type II hyperlipoproteinemia, may produce gallstones and other metabolic problems, and usually are not indicated.

	THE MERCK MANUAL OF GERIATRICS, Ch. 63, Lipoprotein Disorders
		The most common lipoprotein disorders are hypercholesterolemia (type II hyperlipoproteinemia); hypertriglyceridemia (primarily types IV and V hyperlipoproteinemia); hypoalphalipoproteinemia; and high lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) levels.
		However, hypercholesterolemia and hypoalphalipoproteinemia may not be as prevalent among the elderly as among the general population because mortality risk is so high that patients with these disorders do not survive to old age.
		If hyperlipoproteinemia persists after secondary causes have been identified and treated when possible and after dietary treatment has been tried, drug treatment should be used (see Table 63-6).

	Alfalfa Seeds Lower Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Apolipoprotein B Concentrations in Patients with Type II ...
		Fifteen patients with hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP), types IIA (n = 8), IIB (n = 3) and IV (n = 4) were given 40 g of heat prepared alfalfa seeds 3 times daily at mealtimes for 8 weeks with otherwise unchanged diet.
		Apolipoprotein B decreased in the same period from 2.17 to 1.43 g/l (P less than 0.05) in type II HLP, corresponding to 34% decrease, whereas apolipoprotein A-I did not change.
		We conclude that alfalfa seeds can be added to the diet to help normalize serum cholesterol concentrations in patients with type II HLP.

		This autosomal recessive disorder does not affect heterozygous relatives, although they have an increased susceptibility to combined hyperlipidemia (type IIb) associated with decreased plasma HDL cholesterol.

		In several animal and human studies, alfalfa supplements reduced blood cholesterol levels, particularly for individuals with a specific kind of high cholesterol known as type II hyperlipoproteinemia.
		Although the exact reasons are not understood completely, fibers and chemicals in alfalfa appear to stick to cholesterol, keeping it from staying in the blood or depositing in blood vessels.
		More of the harmful types of cholesterol leave the body, while high-density lipoprotein (HDL) — the “good” kind of cholesterol — seems not to be affected.
