Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome (FCS) is a rare, inherited metabolic disorder caused by severe deficiencies in breaking down fats, resulting in extremely high triglyceride levels.
For people with FCS the struggle to live a normal life is real. TG levels above 1,000 mg/dL are common, yet levels above just 800 mg/dL can result in acute pancreatitis and even death.
So FCS patients live with severe lifestyle burdens, extreme dietary restrictions and the fear that an unintended flare up could send them to the hospital. They’ve never imagined that durable control over high triglycerides is possible. But when they meet Redemplo, they’ll believe it.
