Answer 1

Lipid irregularities and kidney stones :

Hypercholesterolemia , increased levels of LDL and triglycerides, decreased level of HDL result in increased risk of stone formation especially calcium oxalate stones.

Hepatic steatosis :

Fat upto 5 % in the liver protects the liver while excess accumulation of fat due to hepatic lipid metabolism dysfunction causes hepatic steatosis . Non alcoholic fatty liver is the common result of the lipid irregularities in the liver which may lead to fatal cirrhosis of liver.

Lipid irregularities on Hypoproteinemia :

Increased very low Density Lipoprotein ,triglycerides causes nephritic syndrome that results in increased protein excretion causing hypoproteinemia .
