What is the difference between chylous blood and lipidemia?

summary

The color of plasma is milky white or turbid, which is chylous blood, indicating that there is a high amount of fat in the blood. After the fat is digested and absorbed in the small intestine, it turns into tiny chylous particles and enters the blood. When the chylous particles reach a certain level, the serum changes from clear and transparent light yellow liquid to milky white viscous liquid. At this time, we call it chylous blood in medicine. What is the difference between chylous blood and lipidemia? Now let me tell you something.

What is the difference between chylous blood and lipidemia?

In short, "chylous blood" is "oily blood" or "lipid blood". Plasma is milky or turbid. Serious chylous blood contains a large amount of particles, which may cause microvascular blockage when flowing into the patient's body. Usually after meals, especially those who eat too greasy food, the concentration of chylous particles in the blood will increase, which will generally return to normal after one to two hours. If the fat metabolism is abnormal or the triglyceride is particularly high, the chylosis phenomenon will last for a long time.

Lipid is an important energy source for human body, just as gasoline is to automobile. Lipid is carried to all parts of the body through lipoprotein to provide energy demand or reserve. There are many kinds of lipids, among which cholesterol and triglyceride are more commonly known. Cholesterol is the most abundant sterol compound in the body. It is not only the component of cell biofilm and lipoprotein, but also can synthesize cholic acid and vitamin D. It is also the precursor of steroid hormones. Therefore, for most tissues, the supply of cholesterol and the maintenance of metabolic balance are very important.

Sterols in the human body are synthesized in the body and ingested from food. However, plant food does not contain cholesterol, but plant sterols, which are not easily absorbed by the human body. Excessive intake will inhibit the absorption of cholesterol. Triglycerides are the most abundant lipids in human body. Most tissues can provide heat by using the products decomposed by triglycerides.
