Two patients presented massive hypercholesterolemia related to acquired disease, intrahepatic cholangitis with cholestasis in one and nephrotic syndrome in the second. Comparison of the lipoprotein patterns demonstrated distinctive pathophysiological processes different from those operating in primary causes of hypercholesterolemia.
