Articles On Lipodystrophy

Lipodystrophies are a group of heterogeneous disorders symbolized by varying degrees of body fat loss and predilection to insulin resistance and its metabolic obstacles. They are sub classified depending on the degree of fat loss and whether the disorder is genetic or acquired. Patients with lipodystrophy suffer from numerous metabolic complications, indicating the importance of adipose tissue as an active endocrine organ. Most lipodystrophy syndromes patients should be screened for diabetes, dyslipidemia, and liver, kidney, and heart disease annually. Diet is essential for reducing the risk of metabolic complications of lipodystrophy. Leptin therapy will boost many of the metabolic conditions in patients with AGL. Many patients with AGL have abnormal immune function and can even develop immunologic malignancies such as T-cell lymphoma.
