Chylomicronemia

Chylomicronomia is a disease characterized by the accumulation in the blood of lipoproteins called chylomicrons. In addition, swelling is observed in the body of people suffering from this disease, and the functioning of some organs and systems of the body slows down. What are chylomicrons and why are they one of the most dangerous diseases?

Chylomicrons are lipoproteins containing large amounts of fat and cholesterol. They are tiny particles that form in the liver. Chylomicrons transport fats and fat-soluble substances throughout the body through the blood. If a person has liver dysfunction, the production of chylomiclones is reduced

Chylomicrons are large protein particles containing many chylomicrons; can be either elevated or normal concentration. The concentration of chylomicron increases during its formation due to impaired absorption or excessive release of fatty acids in the form of chylomicronate in order to normalize lipid metabolism and prevent the deposition of chylomicronates on the walls of blood vessels and an increase in their specific gravity. The growth of cholesterol-containing esters in chylomicrons can lead to the formation of low-density lipoproteins (“bad”) and lead to atherosclerosis.
