What do Abnormal Results Mean?
Elevated blood lipid levels (hyperlipidemia):
ApoCII measurements can help to determine the specific type or cause of hyperlipidemia. Abnormal values may exist in familial lipoprotein lipase deficiency (a rare inherited disorder causing high blood lipoprotein levels because of the lack of the enzyme to break down lipoproteins).
Low levels:
Low apoCII levels exist in familial apoprotein CII deficiency (a rare inherited disorder in which lack of apoCII causes the inability to activate the enzyme that breaks down lipoproteins, resulting in hyperlipidemia).
Other disorders that may be associated with elevated apoCII levels include:
