Hypolipoproteinemia is a cholesterol disorder. It means the lipid levels in your blood are too low. Lipids are the fats in your body. It's usually nothing to worry about, but it might mean you have some disorder like anemia, over active thyroid, or even cancer. Your doctor will want to do more testing.

Also known as hypolipidemia, this condition is simply a lack of lipoproteins --fat-- in the blood. This rare, but serious, condition is diagnosed with a simple blood test. Genetics are often a factor in the genesis of the disease, but other conditions can also lead to this disease, including malnutrition, malabsorption, anemia, hyperthyroidism and Tangier disease.

Hypoliproproteinemia is a deficiency in lipoproteins (fat-protein combinations) in the blood, such as a deficiency in HDL or LDL cholesterol. The word literally means "Deficiency fat protein blood disease" from the Latin roots.
