Chronic hyperlipidemia, accelerated atherosclerosis, and liver failure have led to
STROKE AND MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
in patients with LAL-D
Liver Progression In LAL-D Is Rapid and Can Lead to Fibrosis, CIRRHOSIS, and Liver Transplant Within a Few Years3
KAPLAN-MEIER ESTIMATE: TIME AND RISK FROM FIRST LAL-D CLINICAL MANIFESTATION TO FIRST DOCUMENTATION OF HEPATIC FIBROSIS, CIRRHOSIS, OR LIVER TRANSPLANTATION IN 32 PEDIATRIC AND ADULT PATIENTS WITH LAL-D3,a
Nearly 50% of patients with LAL-D progress to fibrosis, cirrhosis, or liver transplant within 3 years of first clinical manifestation3
Persistently elevated LDL-C in LAL-D can increase the risk for severe cardiovascular events1
LDL-C levels in LAL-D can be similar to the levels in other hereditary dyslipidemias, highlighting the need to rule out LAL-D4-6
Abbreviations: FCH, familial combined hyperlipidemia; HeFH, heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia; LAL-D, lysosomal acid lipase deficiency; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
