Lipoprotein lipase deficiency due to long-term heparinization presenting as severe hypertriglyceridaemia in pregnancy

G F Watts et al. Postgrad Med J. 1991 Dec.

Abstract

A case of severe hypertriglyceridaemia presenting in the third trimester of pregnancy in a woman on long-term heparin prophylaxis is described. The hypertriglyceridaemia was attributed to impaired clearance of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein particles secondary to heparin-induced reduction in the activity of the lipolytic enzyme, lipoprotein lipase.
