Familial Chylomicronemia
Familial chylomicronemia is a rare inherited disorder of fat metabolism in which the blood builds up very high levels of triglycerides because of difficulty processing certain lipid particles.
Common symptoms: It can be accompanied by recurring abdominal pain, small skin lesions from fat deposits, or discomfort related to the pancreas.
Common causes: It has a genetic origin and is usually detected from an early age, often through lab tests that show persistently elevated triglycerides.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist helps monitor the effects on the circulatory system, and the vascular surgeon steps in when the blood vessels are affected. If your family has very high blood fats, it is a good idea for a professional to review the situation in depth.
