Hyperlipidemia risk categories

Monogenic dyslipoproteinemias can generally be grouped into five categories (1) hypertriglyceridemia with an increase in chylomicrons and the clinical sign of pancreatitis, (2) mixed hyperlipidemia with an increase in chylomicron and VLDL remnants and an increased risk of premature atherosclerosis, (3) hypercholesterolemia with an increase in LDL and an increased risk for premature atherosclerosis, (4) hypoalphalipoproteinemia with low HLD and an increased risk for premature atherosclerosis, and (5) hypolipoproteinemia with a decrease in VLDL and LDL, which may lead to neurological disease.
