Deficiencia familiar de lipoproteinlipasa - Treatment

Nombres alternativos

Hiperlipoproteinemia tipo I; Quilomicronemia familiar

Tratamiento:

El objetivo del tratamiento es controlar los síntomas y los niveles de triglicéridos en la sangre con una dieta muy baja en grasas. Usted no debe consumir más de 20 gr (0.66 oz) diarios de grasa para evitar que los síntomas reaparezcan.

20 gr de grasa equivalen a uno de los siguientes:

  • 2 vasos de 8 onzas de leche entera.
  • 4 cucharaditas de margarina.
  • Porción de carne de 4 onzas.

La dieta estadounidense promedio tiene un contenido de grasa de hasta el 45% de las calorías totales. Se recomiendan las vitaminas A, D, E y K liposolubles y suplementos minerales para las personas que consumen una dieta muy baja en grasa. La asesoría nutricional puede ayudar a los pacientes que intentan seguir una dieta estricta y aun mantener un consumo adecuado de calorías y nutrientes.

La pancreatitis asociada con la deficiencia de lipoproteinlipasa responde a los tratamientos para este trastorno.

Pronóstico:

Las personas con esta afección que siguen una dieta muy baja en grasa pueden vivir hasta la edad adulta.

Posibles complicaciones:

Es posible que se desarrolle una pancreatitis y episodios recurrentes de dolor abdominal.

Los xantomas generalmente no son dolorosos, a menos que haya mucha fricción.

Cuándo contactar a un profesional médico:

Consulte con el médico para una evaluación si un miembro de la familia padece deficiencia de lipoproteinlipasa. Se recomienda la asesoría genética para cualquier persona que tenga antecedentes familiares de esta enfermedad.
