	Familial Hypertriglyceridemia - Health Centers
		Familial hypertriglyceridemia is a common inherited disorder in which the level of triglycerides (a type of fat) in a person's blood are higher than normal.
		Familial hypertriglyceridemia is caused by a genetic defect, which is passed on in an autosomal dominant fashion.
		Risk factors are a family history of hypertriglyceridemia or a family history of heart disease before the age of 50.

	Postgraduate Medicine: Does hypertriglyceridemia increase risk for CAD?
		Elevated triglyceride levels are a marker for a clinical condition known as the insulin resistance syndrome, the metabolic syndrome, or syndrome X. Patients with this syndrome are at significantly increased risk for atherosclerotic disease.
		The triad of hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL cholesterol levels, and elevated levels of small, dense LDL cholesterol particles is common in this syndrome and in diabetes.
		Hypertriglyceridemia may predict the presence of small, dense LDL particles.

		Hypertriglyceridemia is due to increased CM or VLDL.
		Hyperlipemia is mostly associated with hypertriglyceridemia with a mild increase in cholesterol.
		Hypertriglyceridemia is due to increased VLDL and results in hepatic lipidosis (and liver failure with increased liver enzymes), hypoglycemia, renal disease and central nervous system signs.

	Case Study: A 55-Year-Old Man With Obesity, Hypertriglyceridemia, and Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes Who Collapsed and ...
		Hypertriglyceridemia can be primary (associated with familial hypertriglyceridemia) or secondary (due to diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, kidney disease, or medication).
		Hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL cholesterol (<35 mg/dl) are commonly seen in the insulin resistance syndrome, or Syndrome X. In fact, an increase in plasma triglyceride is the most common metabolic characteristic of Syndrome X. Although all insulin-resistant patients do not develop type 2 diabetes, many do.
		Hypertriglyceridemia should be carefully monitored and aggressively treated by weight loss, diet, exercise, alcohol restriction, and pharmacological means to keep serum levels <400 mg/dl to prevent possible pancreatitis and <200 mg/dl to prevent coronary heart disease.

	Lipids Online Slides: hypertriglyceridemia, coronary heart disease
		This figure does not depict the important contribution of postprandial hypertriglyceridemia, which often occurs in these same patients, wherein elevated postprandial chylomicrons (from the intestine) may also contribute to hypertriglyceridemia, the atherogenic lipid profile described above, and the creation of chylomicron remnant particles, which may be significantly atherogenic.
		First of all, hypertriglyceridemia is associated with the accumulation of chylomicron remnants, which we know can be atherogenic, and accumulation of VLDL remnants, which are also atherogenic.
		Hypertriglyceridemia is also associated with increased coagulability and decreased fibrinolysis, as shown by its association with increased levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) and factor VII and its activation of prothrombin to thrombin.

	Endocrine Today - Emerging Treatments for Coronary Heart Disease: The Role of Omega-3 Fatty Acids
		Two exceptions to this rule are the hypertriglyceridemias associated with alcohol ingestion and use of oral estrogens due to simultaneous alterations in hepatic lipase: In these two conditions, high triglycerides occur in conjunction with high HDL cholesterol levels.
		First, not every case of hypertriglyceridemia is associated with increased CHD risk, creating “noise” in the data when large cohorts with different types of hypertriglyceridemias are studied.
		For example, mild hypertriglyceridemia in an otherwise healthy young woman on oral contraceptives is likely a benign phenomenon, whereas a similar finding in a patient with other components of the metabolic syndrome or with diabetes is likely associated with substantial cardiovascular risk.

		Pregnancy-induced hypertriglyceridemia is estimated to be the cause in 4–6% of all pancreatitis cases during pregnancy, while most cases result from cholelithiasis [4].

		Hypertriglyceridemia can be categorized by the Fredrickson classification (analysis of lipids by beta-quantification—ultracentrifugation followed by electrophoresis).
		Hypertriglyceridemia is correlated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), particularly in the setting of low HDL cholesterol (HDL-c) levels and/or elevated LDL cholesterol (LDL-c) levels.
		Hypertriglyceridemia is a laboratory diagnosis; therefore, a differential diagnosis is not appropriate.

		This means that if you get a bady copy of the gene from just one of your parents, you will have the condition.
		If high triglyceride levels persist despite diet changes, medication may be needed. Nicotinic acid and gemfibrozil have been shown to effectively reduced triglycerides in those with familial hypertriglyceridemia.

	Hypertriglyceridemia in the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
		RESULTS: Mean triglyceride concentrations and the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia (50 percent) were significantly increased in patients with AIDS compared with control subjects (p less than 0.002 and p less than 0.005, respectively), whereas the mean triglyceride levels of HIV-positive subjects were intermediate.
		In patients with AIDS, mean triglyceride levels and the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia were similar in the presence and absence of wasting.
		CONCLUSION: Hypertriglyceridemia is a common finding in AIDS and is independent of the degree of wasting.

	Hypertriglyceridemia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In medicine, hypertriglyceridemia (or "Hypertriglyceridaemia") denotes high (hyper-) blood levels (-emia) of triglycerides, the most abundant fatty molecule in most organisms.
		A related term is "Hyperglyceridemia" or "Hyperglyceridaemia", which refers to a high level of all glycerides, including monoglycerides, diglycerides and triglycerides.
		Treatment of hypertriglyceridemia is by restriction of carbohydrates and fat in the diet, as well as with niacin, fibrates and statins (three classes of drugs).

	I-88: Gemfibrozil Effectively Lowers Protease-Associated Hypertriglyceridemia in HIV-Infected Patients - The Body (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		In addition to elevated cholesterol, HIV-infected persons may have elevated levels of triglycerides, which have been associated with increased likelihood of pancreatitis and cardiovascular risks in uninfected persons.
		Hypertriglyceridemia has been associated with HIV-associated catabolism in patients with the wasting syndrome, has also been documented in patients who are asymptomatic, including those not taking PIs.
		In patients with hypertriglyceridemia on PIs, gemfibrozil seems to be safe and well-tolerated, but larger studies are needed to assess long term efficacy in chronic and changing regimens and other treatments will be needed to treat the common occurance of elevated cholesterol in persons living with HIV.
