title: [Clinical characteristics of primary hyperlipoproteinemia type IV. An analysis of 86 patients].
abstract: In 86 patients with primary HLP type IV over 50% were detected at systematical examinations of non-commissioned officers so that the number of male patients is uncommonly very high, 80, (93%). The highest number of patients--66 (92,5%) belonged to the age group 41-60 years. The analysed group showed the increased incidence of: obesity (60,5%), disturbed glycoregulation (45,3%), arterial hypertension (34,9%), ischemic heart disease (26,7%), hyperuricemia (23%), occlusive peripheral artery disease (16,3%), low values of serum cholesterol concentration LVG (X = 0,98 mmol/l), markedly decreased fibrinolytic activity (eugolobulin fibrinolysis 240 +/- 29 min) and hyperinsulinism (in 9 of 13 patients). Eruptive xanthomas were found in 7 (8,1%) patients. Due to male predominance the incidence of cholelithiasis is lower than expected (8,1%).
