A simplified diagnosis algorithm for dysbetalipoproteinemia
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Dysbetalipoproteinemia (DBL) is a disease of remnant lipoprotein accumulation caused by a defective apolipoprotein (apo) E and is associated with a considerable atherogenic burden. However, there exists confusion concerning the diagnosis of this disorder, and as a consequence, misdiagnosis is frequent.
OBJECTIVE: The objective of the present study is to propose an algorithm for the diagnosis of DBL using simple clinical variables.
