Hyperlipoproteinaemia characterised by heighten
plasma levels of chylomicrons, VLDL, pre-beta-lipoproteins, and triglycerides, and slight
rise of
cholesterol on a
usual diet, with beta-lipoproteins usual; may be accompanied by bouts of
abdominal pain, hepatosplenomegaly, susceptibility to atherosclerosis, and
emergency glucose tolerance;
perhaps autosomal recessive inheritance.
Synonym: combined fat-and carbohydrate-induced hyperlipaemia,
familial hyperchylomicronaemia with hyperprebetalipoproteinaemia,
