lipemia

1. (medicine, pathology) An excess of lipids or lipoproteins in the blood.Examples: "The absence of lipemia in the 28 cases undergoing treatment, although many of them were severe, is a striking fact, and probably to be accounted for by the partial or complete fasting."; "The studies cited above do not permit a decision as to whether the observed lipemias represent a direct action of estrogen or whether the effect is mediated through another organ."; "In patients with increased platelet aggregation, fat-loading produced a somewhat higher degree of lipemia than in the normal volunteers."Synonyms: hyperlipaemia, hyperlipemia, hyperlipidaemia, hyperlipidemia, hyperlipoidaemia, hyperlipoidemia, lipaemia, lipidaemia
