title: Hyperlipidemia, dyslipoproteinemia and apolipoproteinopathia--classification and risk of atherosclerosis. Part 3: Hypertriacylglycerolemia.
abstract: The authors classify hypertriacylglycerolemias according to their relationship with atherosclerosis as disorders with and without chylomicronemia, atherogenous disorders with an increased level of apolipoprotein B in the VLDL fraction, and relatively harmless (benign) cases. They single out the remarkable heterogeneity of hypertriacylglycerolemias and their epidemiological aspects. The analysis of the various disorders comes complete with their pathobiochemistry and the clinic-biochemical criteria of their classification. The paper also draws attention to a number of possible clinical complications accompanying hypertriacylglycerolemias and their frequency among the population.
