type 1 hyperchylomicronemia ( pancreatitis and TG's in the 1000's.)
Very large increase in TGs causes pancreatitis.
Deficiencies in:
Apo B-100: Type II familial hypercholesterolemia, increases mostly LDL which increases cholesterol
Apo E: Decreased remnant uptake, which increases mostly chylomicrons and VLDL, but it's milder so no pancreatitis.
HSL: deficiency would decrease TGs, not increase
LDL receptor: Type II hypercholesterolemia also
So lipoprotein lipase deficiency is the anser, which causes large increase in chylomicrons and TGs, leading to pancreatitis and has a creamy layer in supernatant.
Side note for those of you who hate familial dyslipidemias: don't usually watch dirty USMLE videos but I couldn't keep the familial dyslipidemias straight in my head and someone on reddit recommended his video on this. Personally found it really helped.
Can anyone explain why the lipase concentration is so high if there is an issue with LPL in hyperchylomicronemia?
