(Although, in some cases, rotation of the injection sites may not be enough to prevent lipodystrophy.) [citation needed] Some of the side-effects of lipodystrophy are the rejection of the injected medication, the slowing down of the absorption of the medication, or trauma which can cause bleeding that, in turn, causes rejection of the medication.
Acquired generalized lipodystrophy (AGL), also known as Lawrence syndrome [1] and Lawrence–Seip syndrome, [1] is a rare skin condition that appears during childhood or adolescence, characterized by fat loss affecting large areas of the body, particularly the face, arms, and legs.
Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (also known as Berardinelli–Seip lipodystrophy) is an extremely rare autosomal recessive condition, characterized by an extreme scarcity of fat in the subcutaneous tissues. [2] It is a type of lipodystrophy disorder where the magnitude of fat loss determines the severity of metabolic complications. [3]
Lipedema / Dercum's disease differentiation – these conditions may co-exist. Dercum's disease is a syndrome of painful growths in subcutaneous fat. Unlike lipedema, which occurs primarily in the trunk and legs, the fatty growths can occur anywhere on the body. [20] [21]
Hyperlipidemia is abnormally high levels of any or all lipids (e.g. fats, triglycerides, cholesterol, phospholipids) or lipoproteins in the blood. [2] The term hyperlipidemia refers to the laboratory finding itself and is also used as an umbrella term covering any of various acquired or genetic disorders that result in that finding. [3]
Several causes of sclerosing mesenteritis have been suggested such as trauma, prior surgical procedures, autoimmune diseases such as lupus, IgG4-related disease, rheumatoid arthritis, infections such as tuberculosis, cryptococcosis, schistosomiasis, HIV and medicines such as paroxetine and pergolide but their associations with sclerosing mesenteritis are largely speculative with high degree of ...
About 30,000 cases of Lyme disease in the U.S. are reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by state and local health departments each year. However, the CDC says that many more ...
Corticosteroid-induced lipodystrophy (CIL) is a condition of abnormal fat deposition caused by corticosteroid medications. [1] Fat accumulates in the facial area (" moon face "), dorsocervical region ("buffalo hump"), and abdominal area ("pot belly" or "beer belly"), whereas the thickness of subcutaneous fat in the limbs is decreased.
