Overview
Low chylomicron or hypochylomicronemia result commonly from genetic causes or acquired, by the use of dietary supplements such as fish oil or the intake of ketogenic diets. The causes generally are quite a few in number.
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
Hypochylomicronemia or low chylomicron does not have life-threatening causes.
