Overview
Hyperchylomicronemia occurs more commonly as a result of deficient lipoprotein lipase enzyme. This deficiency could either be genetic as in type I and type V hyperlipoproteinemia or due to conditions such as alcoholism, chronic renal failure, hypothyroidism, and diabetes mellitus which affect the activity of lipoprotein lipase enzyme.
