Recent interest in the hyperlipemic states has been evidenced by increasing reports of new cases and studies in both the primary and secondary forms of this disease wherein increases in the serum neutral fats are of such magnitude as to cause turbidity of the serum. Lever and associates have recently reviewed and modified the classification of conditions associated with hyperlipemia as originally formulated by Thannhauser.¹ Although Thannhauser¹ still regards some instances of hyperlipemia to be secondary to recurrent pancreatitis, Klatskin and Gordon² and Lever and associates³ believe that pancreatitis is secondary to the hyperlipemia in these cases and hence pancreatitis is not a cause of hyperlipemia. Hyperlipemia secondary to nephrotic glomerulonephritis was reported by Taylor and Curtis.⁴ Hence the types of hyperlipemia have been classified as follows:

A. Idiopathic hyperlipemia

1. In children with associated hepatosplenomegaly (Bürger-Grütz disease)
