Hypolipidemia--Low Lipid Diseases
Low lipid diseases, also know as hypolipidemia , is a group of disorder where there is too little cholesterol and/or triglyceride present in the blood.
Tangier disease is a very rare, inherited condition that results in very low levels of HDL cholesterol.
Inherited conditions of very low cholesterol levels, like abetalipoproteinemia, can have many health complications.
Hypolipidemia, a condition characterized by very low cholesterol levels, can be caused by your genes or a medical condition.
Hypolipidemia is a condition where cholesterol levels are abnormally low without the use of cholesterol lowering drugs.
Research has determined that stomach cancer may be caused by your cholesterol being too low. There hasn't been a lot of research that has examined what happens when your cholesterol is too low. However, this study establishes a link between stomach cancer and cholesterol.
Hypolipoproteinemia is a general term used for individuals who do not produce enough cholesterol and/or triglyceride in their bodies. Although relatively rare, these disorders can be just as detrimental as having too many lipids in the blood.

This group is for people diagnosed with the rare disorder abetalipoproteinemia, which is also known as Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome. This group is opened to anyone with questions, information or just wanting an open discussion about abetalipoproteinemia.
