Hyperchylomicronemia occurs more commonly as a result of decreased lipoprotein lipase enzyme activity.  The causes of hyperchylomicronemia could either be genetic as in type I and type V hyperlipoproteinemia or secondary to conditions such as alcoholism, chronic renal failure, hypothyroidism, and diabetes mellitus.  Secondary causes are more frequent than primary genetic etiologies.
