Endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic diseases (E00-E90).
- Obesity (obesity).
- Acromegaly – increase in size of body end limbs due to increased presence of growth hormone after completion of growth.
- Cushing’s disease/Cushing’s syndrome – disease in which a tumor in the ACTH-producing cells of the pituitary gland produces too much ACTH, resulting in increased stimulation of the adrenal cortex and, as a consequence, excessive cortisol production.
- Diabetes mellitus (diabetes).
- Glycogen storage diseases, unspecified.
- Hyperuricemia/gout
- Lipodystrophy (fat tissue atrophy)
Mixed hyperlipidemia
- Hyperbetalipoproteinemia with prebetalipoproteinemia.
- Hypercholesterolemia with endogenous hypertriglyceridemia.
- Hyperlipidemia, group C
- Hyperlipoproteinemia type IIb or III according to Fredrickson
- Lipoproteinemia with a broad beta band
- Tubo-eruptive xanthoma (a xanthoma is a skin lesion resulting from increased storage of plasma lipoproteins in the skin in the setting of hyperlipoproteinemia)
- Xanthoma tuberosum
Pure hypertriglyceridemia
- Endogenous hypertriglyceridemia
- Hyperlipidemia, group B
- Hyperlipoproteinemia type IV according to Fredrickson
- Hyperlipoproteinemia of the very-low-density-lipoprotein type (VLDL).
- Hyperprebetalipoproteinemia
Infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99).
- Sepsis (blood poisoning)
Liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts-pancreas (pancreas) (K70-K77; K80-K87).
- Cholestasis (biliary stasis)
- Hepatitis (inflammation of the liver), unspecified
Psyche – nervous system (F00-F99; G00-G99)
- Alcohol abuse (alcoholism)
- Stress
Pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium (O00-O99)
- Pregnancy
Genitourinary system (kidneys, urinary tract – reproductive organs) (N00-N99)
- Nephrotic syndrome – collective term for symptoms that occur in various diseases of the glomerulus (renal corpuscles); symptoms include: Proteinuria (increased excretion of protein in urine) with protein loss greater than 1 g/m²/body surface area per day; hypoproteinemia, peripheral edema due to serum hypalbuminemia of < 2.5 g/dL, hyperlipoproteinemia (dyslipidemia).
- Renal insufficiency (kidney weakness).
Further
- Regular alcohol consumption (woman: > 20 g/day; man > 30 g/day).
Medication
- See “Causes” under medications
Notice. See for other secondary hyperlipoproteinemias (= consequences of other underlying diseases) under Classification (under the topic of the same name).
