Hyperlipidemi
Also known as: Høyt fettinnhold i blodet
Hyperlipidemi er en unormal økning av fett (triglyserider og/eller kolesterol) i blodet. Den kan følge et nylig måltid eller gjenspeile en endokrin sykdom, visse rasebetingede predisposisjoner eller en primær lipidforstyrrelse. Vedvarende økning kan utløse pankreatitt, fettlever, krampeanfall og øyeforandringer. Schnauzere og noen andre raser er bemerkelsesverdig predisponerte for primære former.
