Overview

High VLDL may be a consequence of inherited diseases that affect the lipid metabolism, or cab be due to secondary causes such as drugs and chronic liver disease.

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.

Gram negative sepsis
