Overview

Hypertriglyceridemia can occur due to various causes, including genetics, familial, metabolic and drugs

Causes

Primary hypertriglyceridemia

Genetics [1]

Type I hyperlipoproteinemia
  • Genetic deficiency or dysfunction of enzyme lipoprotein lipase (LPL)
  • Deficiency of apo C-II, that acts as a cofactor of LPL
  • Insulin deficiency or dysfunction in diabetes type 1 and 2 can also cause this disorder as LPL requires insulin for its full function.
Familial combined hyperlipidemia
  • Autosomal dominant disorder
  • Patients have either isolated triglyceride or LDL-c elevations or both.
  • Family history of premature coronary artery disease in 1 or more first-degree relatives
  • Family history for elevated triglycerides with or without elevated LDL-c levels.
Familial hypertriglyceridemia
  • Autosomal dominant trait
  • These patients and their families have isolated triglyceride elevations
  • Increased risk of premature coronary artery disease.

Idiopathic (constitutional)

Secondary hypertriglyceridemia

Metabolic [1]

Drugs

Miscellaneous
