Morphology

hyperlipoproteinemia = lipoproteinemia (semi-transparent) = hyper + lipo + protein + emia

The added hyper- prefix straightforwardly indicates an excess amount of the base medical condition.

Etymology

Hyperlipoproteinemia is built from Greek parts: hyper- 'too much', lipo- 'fat', protein, and -emia 'blood condition', like in anemia. So it means a 'blood condition' with too many fat-carrying proteins, which is why it is used for very high cholesterol and other fat levels in the blood.
