Clinical cases
Lipid metabolism
DR.S.SETHUPATHY, M.D,PH.D
Case 1
 An 8 year-old girl complained of hypotonia, skeletal
muscle weakness, exercise intolerance. Hepatomegaly
was present. She was investigated.
 Hemoglobin- 12 .2 gm/dl ( 11.2 – 14.5 gm/dl)
 Plasma glucose- (Random) - 52 mg/dl.
 Urine ketone bodies negative
 Serum lactate – 32 mg/dl ( 4.5 – 20 mg/dl)
 Serum total CPK- 420 mcg/L (10 to 120
micrograms per liter (mcg/L)
 Lipid profile - Serum total cholesterol – 232 mg/dl (140-200 mg/dl)
 Serum triglycerides – 174 mg/dl ( 50 -150 mg /dl)
 Serum LDL - 149 mg/dl ( < 100 mg/dl)
 Serum HDL 48 mg/dl ( 45 -60 mg/dl)
 Histochemical investigation revealed abnormal accumulations of lipid
between the myofibrils.
 Serum bilirubin- 1.6 mg/dl (<1 mg/dl)
 AST - 76 U/L ( <40 u/L)
 ALT - 92 U/L ( < 40 U/L)
 ALP - 122 U/L ( <40 - 150 U/L)
Either transport defect or oxidation
defect
 Lack of energy – lesser oxygen, Glucose, fatty acids
 During fasting, beta-oxidation of fatty acids provides the necessary energy.
 Carnitine is required in the transfer of long-chain fatty acids across the
inner mitochondrial membrane for beta-oxidation.
 When fatty acids cannot be utilized, glucose is consumed.
 It results in Nonketotic hypoglycemia.
 Glycolysis and OxPhos steadily operate and provides large amount of
energy than glycolysis alone. As glucose rapidly undergoes glycolysis
beyond the capacity of OxPhos, pyruvate accumulates which gets reduced
to lactate causing lactic acidosis.
 Serum carnitine - 6 μmol/L ( 28-60 μmol/L)- deficiency
Case 2
• A 24 year old, primigravida ( gestational age- 37
weeks)complained of nausea , vomiting and malaise.
• On examination- Jaundiced , anemic
• BP – 160-100 mm of Hg.
• Investigations
• Hb – 10.9 g/dl
• RBC - 3.2 ( 4-6 millions /micro l)
• WBC – 15400 (4500 – 11000 / micro l)
• Platelet - 90000 ( 150000 – 450000 per micro l)
• Plasma glucose – 55 mg/dl
 Serum bilirubin- 3.6 mg/dl (<1 mg/dl)
 AST - 96 U/L ( <40 u/L)
 ALT - 122 U/L ( < 40 U/L)
 ALP - 172 U/L ( 40 – 150 U/L)
 Clotting time 162 seconds (70 to 120 seconds)
 Prothrombin time – 18 secs (10 -14 seconds)
 PT-INR - 2.4 ( 1-1.5 )
 Plasma ammonia - 52 (15 to 45 µ/dL )
 Plasma fibrinogen - 162 (200 to 400 mg/dL)
 HbsAg - negative
Liver biopsy
 A liver biopsy can provide a definitive diagnosis but due to the
increased chance of bleeding mostly not done in acute fatty
liver of pregnancy
 Other causes of liver dysfunction- viral hepatitis, drug-induced
liver dysfunction, and acetaminophen poisoning, Reye’s
syndrome, pre-eclampsia, HELLP syndrome,intrahepatic
cholestasis of pregnancy, autoimmune hepatitis should be
ruled out.
 An accumulation of medium and long chain fatty acids occurs in
the fetus. The unmetabolized fatty acids will re-enter the maternal
circulation through the placenta, and overwhelm the beta-oxidation
enzymes of the mother. It results in accumulation fat in the liver.
 The gene responsible for LCHAD is isolated and the most common
mutation found in acute fatty liver of pregnancy is the
E474Q missense mutation.
 Long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCHAD) deficiency
is A.R in inheritance and mothers are often found to
be heterozygous for the affected mutation.
 Acute fatty liver of pregnancy
Case 3
 A 62 year old man complained of passing foul smelling, bulky,
frothy stools which floats for the past one month. He also
complained of weight loss. No vomiting, no loss of appetite.

 WBC – 8400 (4500 – 11000 / micro l)
 Platelet - 175000 ( 150000 – 450000 per micro l)
 Plasma glucose – 92 mg/dl
 Serum bilirubin- 0.9 mg/dl (<1 mg/dl)
 AST - 32 U/L ( <40 u/L)
 ALT - 12 U/L ( < 40 U/L)
 ALP - 78 ( 40 -150 U/L)

Defective digestion or defective absorption
 D-xylose absorption test – It is absorbed across the intestinal
mucosa After a patient drinks the Xylose, urine or blood are
collected over the next several hours.
 Low Xylose levels in the blood or urine are highly suggestive
of an abnormality of the intestinal mucosa.
 Bentiromide test – Bentiromide chemical is given. This is
broken down by pancreatic enzymes and
(paraaminobenzoicacid, PABA) is released which is absorbed
and excreted in the urine.
 Pancreatic insufficiency is suspected when urinary PABA levels
are low.

 Statin group of drugs - Atorvastatin, Rosuvastatin
 Mechanism – HMG CoA reductase inhibition
 Rate limiting enzyme of cholesterol biosynthesis –
HMG CoA reductase
How cholesterol causes atherosclerosis ?
 It gets deposited in the blood vessel and causes
plaque ( thickening) formation.
 Which cholesterol is bad?
 LDL cholesterol is bad. Why?
 because it carries cholesterol from liver to tissues and
excess gets deposited in the blood vessels of tissues
such as heart, brain, kidney, nerves, peripheral
tissues.
 What are the complications?
 Causing nephropathy, neuropathy, retinopathy,
coronary artery disease, cerebral atherosclerosis,
peripheral arterial disease.
 Which cholesterol is good?
 HDL cholesterol is good since it transports
cholesterol from tissues to liver for excretion.
 How to increase HDL?
 Exercise improves HDL cholesterol.
 How to proceed further in this case?
 Revise antidiabetic treatment
 Add statin drug if not started

Case 7
 A 1-year-old boy was referred to hospital due to
abdominal distention and poor weight gain.
 He was the first male offspring of consanguineous
parents.
 He had neurodevelopmental delay,
hepatosplenomegaly, severe hypotonia, difficulty in
breathing.
 Ophthalmological examination revealed the presence
of cherry-red spot in the macula.
Histochemistry of a dried blood spot for
the acid sphingomyelinase level -
11 nmol/L per 24 h (normal value: 200–
2500 nmol/L per 24 h)
Diagnosis- Niemann-Pick disease
Deficiency in acid sphingomyelinase, a
lysosomal enzyme.
It results in an accumulation of
sphingomyelin in lysosomes
It leads to cellular apoptosis and there
will be hepatosplenomegaly,
neurodegenerative disorder and
failure to thrive.
It has poor prognosis
There is no specific treatment
Thank you

clinical cases lipid metabolism.pptx

  • 2. Case 1  An 8 year-old girl complained of hypotonia, skeletal muscle weakness, exercise intolerance. Hepatomegaly was present. She was investigated.  Hemoglobin- 12 .2 gm/dl ( 11.2 – 14.5 gm/dl)  Plasma glucose- (Random) - 52 mg/dl.  Urine ketone bodies negative  Serum lactate – 32 mg/dl ( 4.5 – 20 mg/dl)  Serum total CPK- 420 mcg/L (10 to 120 micrograms per liter (mcg/L)
  • 3.  Lipid profile - Serum total cholesterol – 232 mg/dl (140-200 mg/dl)  Serum triglycerides – 174 mg/dl ( 50 -150 mg /dl)  Serum LDL - 149 mg/dl ( < 100 mg/dl)  Serum HDL 48 mg/dl ( 45 -60 mg/dl)  Histochemical investigation revealed abnormal accumulations of lipid between the myofibrils.  Serum bilirubin- 1.6 mg/dl (<1 mg/dl)  AST - 76 U/L ( <40 u/L)  ALT - 92 U/L ( < 40 U/L)  ALP - 122 U/L ( <40 - 150 U/L)
  • 4. Either transport defect or oxidation defect  Lack of energy – lesser oxygen, Glucose, fatty acids  During fasting, beta-oxidation of fatty acids provides the necessary energy.  Carnitine is required in the transfer of long-chain fatty acids across the inner mitochondrial membrane for beta-oxidation.  When fatty acids cannot be utilized, glucose is consumed.  It results in Nonketotic hypoglycemia.  Glycolysis and OxPhos steadily operate and provides large amount of energy than glycolysis alone. As glucose rapidly undergoes glycolysis beyond the capacity of OxPhos, pyruvate accumulates which gets reduced to lactate causing lactic acidosis.  Serum carnitine - 6 μmol/L ( 28-60 μmol/L)- deficiency
  • 5. Case 2 • A 24 year old, primigravida ( gestational age- 37 weeks)complained of nausea , vomiting and malaise. • On examination- Jaundiced , anemic • BP – 160-100 mm of Hg. • Investigations • Hb – 10.9 g/dl • RBC - 3.2 ( 4-6 millions /micro l) • WBC – 15400 (4500 – 11000 / micro l) • Platelet - 90000 ( 150000 – 450000 per micro l) • Plasma glucose – 55 mg/dl
  • 6.  Serum bilirubin- 3.6 mg/dl (<1 mg/dl)  AST - 96 U/L ( <40 u/L)  ALT - 122 U/L ( < 40 U/L)  ALP - 172 U/L ( 40 – 150 U/L)  Clotting time 162 seconds (70 to 120 seconds)  Prothrombin time – 18 secs (10 -14 seconds)  PT-INR - 2.4 ( 1-1.5 )  Plasma ammonia - 52 (15 to 45 µ/dL )  Plasma fibrinogen - 162 (200 to 400 mg/dL)  HbsAg - negative
  • 7. Liver biopsy  A liver biopsy can provide a definitive diagnosis but due to the increased chance of bleeding mostly not done in acute fatty liver of pregnancy  Other causes of liver dysfunction- viral hepatitis, drug-induced liver dysfunction, and acetaminophen poisoning, Reye’s syndrome, pre-eclampsia, HELLP syndrome,intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, autoimmune hepatitis should be ruled out.
  • 8.  An accumulation of medium and long chain fatty acids occurs in the fetus. The unmetabolized fatty acids will re-enter the maternal circulation through the placenta, and overwhelm the beta-oxidation enzymes of the mother. It results in accumulation fat in the liver.  The gene responsible for LCHAD is isolated and the most common mutation found in acute fatty liver of pregnancy is the E474Q missense mutation.  Long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCHAD) deficiency is A.R in inheritance and mothers are often found to be heterozygous for the affected mutation.  Acute fatty liver of pregnancy

  • 11. Defective digestion or defective absorption  D-xylose absorption test – It is absorbed across the intestinal mucosa After a patient drinks the Xylose, urine or blood are collected over the next several hours.  Low Xylose levels in the blood or urine are highly suggestive of an abnormality of the intestinal mucosa.  Bentiromide test – Bentiromide chemical is given. This is broken down by pancreatic enzymes and (paraaminobenzoicacid, PABA) is released which is absorbed and excreted in the urine.  Pancreatic insufficiency is suspected when urinary PABA levels are low.
