title: [Diagnosis of chyliferous blockage by the hyperlipidemia test (author's transl)].
abstract: In our hyperlipidemia test, the total lipids curve, a plateau without a postprandial peak, allows an easy diagnosis of the chyliferous blockage. The malformation of chyliferous vessels produces the congenital forms: exsudative enteropathy, chyloperitoneum, spontaneous chylothorax, chylous cyst of the mediastinum, reflux of chyle in the pulmonary lymphatics, lymphoedema with chyle reflux in the lymphatics of the leg and chyluria. The acquired forms comprise the post-infectious sclerosis of the intestinal lymphatics and the neoplastic invasions of the mesenteric lymph nodes. The optical density curve brings some informations for a better understanding of lipid's absorption.
