Study Notes

Fredrickson Classification of Lipid Disorders

Type 1 Lipid Disorder:
- Also known as Hyperchylomicronemia or Familial LPL deficiency.
Type 2a Lipid Disorder:
- Referred to as Hypercholesterolemia.
Type 2b Lipid Disorder:
- Known as Familial Combined Hyperlipidemia.
Type 3 Lipid Disorder:
- Identified as Dysbetalipoproteinemia.
Type 4 Lipid Disorder:
- Termed Familial Hypertriglyceridemia.
Type 1 Findings:
- Characterized by increased triglycerides (TG) and chylomicrons.
- Cholesterol, LDL, and VLDL levels remain normal.
Type 2a Findings:
- Notable for increased cholesterol and LDL levels.
- TG, VLDL, and chylomicrons levels are normal.
Type 2b Findings:
- Displays normal chylomicrons but increased TG, cholesterol, LDL, and VLDL levels.
Type 3 Findings:
- Normal LDL and chylomicrons with increased TG, cholesterol, and VLDL levels.
Type 4 Findings:
- Characterized by normal cholesterol, LDL, and chylomicrons.
- Increased TG and VLDL levels.
Type 5 Findings:
- Normal LDL.
- Elevated TG, cholesterol, VLDL, and chylomicrons.
