Etymology

From lip- +‎ -emia.

Noun

lipemia (countable and uncountable, plural lipemias)

  1. (medicine, pathology) An excess of lipids or lipoproteins in the blood.
    • 1917, Elliott Proctor Joslin, The Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus, Lea & Febiger, page 102:
      The absence of lipemia in the 28 cases undergoing treatment, although many of them were severe, is a striking fact, and probably to be accounted for by the partial or complete fasting.
    • 1947, Oscar Riddle, Studies on Carbohydrate and Fat Metabolism, Carnegie Institution of Washington, page 111:
      The studies cited above do not permit a decision as to whether the observed lipemias represent a direct action of estrogen or whether the effect is mediated through another organ.
    • 1982, G. Hornstra, Dietary Fats, Prostanoids and Arterial Thrombosis, Martinus Nijhoff Publishers (Wolters Kluwer), page 72:
      In patients with increased platelet aggregation, fat-loading produced a somewhat higher degree of lipemia than in the normal volunteers.
    • 2010, Andrew J. Rosenfeld, Sharon M. Dial, Clinical Pathology for the Veterinary Team, Wiley-Blackwell, page 158:
      It is important to note that Lipemia can also be seen as an artifact when a blood sample is collected from a pet that has just recently eaten. In general, a fast of 12 hours is recommended to eliminate postprandial lipemia. If lipemia persists greater than 12 hours, the patient should be evaluated for diseases that may produce altered fat metabolism.
