86 Abstract
87
88 Objective: Lipodystrophy syndromes are extremely rare disorders of deficient body fat complicated by
89 potentially serious metabolic complications, including diabetes, hypertriglyceridemia, and steatohepatitis.
90 Due to their rarity, most clinicians are not familiar with their diagnosis and management. This practice
91 guideline summarizes diagnosis and management of lipodystrophy syndromes.
92
93 Participants: Seventeen participants were nominated by worldwide endocrine societies or selected by the
94 committee as content experts. Funding was via unrestricted educational grant (Astra Zeneca) to the
95 Pediatric Endocrine Society. Meetings were not open to the general public.
96
97 Evidence: Literature review was conducted by the committee. Recommendations of the committee were
98 graded using the system of the American Heart Association. Expert opinion was used when published
99 data were not available or scarce.
100
101 Consensus Process: The guideline was drafted by committee members, and reviewed, revised, and
102 approved by the entire committee during group meetings. Contributing societies reviewed the document
103 and provided approval.
104
105 Conclusions: Lipodystrophy syndromes are heterogeneous, and are diagnosed by clinical phenotype,
106 supplemented by genetic testing in certain forms. Patients with most lipodystrophy syndromes should be
107 screened for diabetes, dyslipidemia, and liver, kidney, and heart disease annually. Diet is essential for
108 management of metabolic complications of lipodystrophy. Metreleptin therapy is effective for metabolic
109 complications in hypoleptinemic patients with generalized lipodystrophy, and selected patients with
110 partial lipodystrophy. Other treatments not specific for lipodystrophy may be helpful as well (e.g.
111 metformin for diabetes, statins or fibrates for hyperlipidemia). Oral estrogens are contraindicated.

113 INTRODUCTION
114
115 The lipodystrophy syndromes are a heterogeneous group of rare disorders that have in common selective
116 deficiency of adipose tissue in the absence of nutritional deprivation or catabolic state (Figure 1).
117 Lipodystrophies are categorized based on etiology (genetic or acquired) and distribution of lost adipose
118 tissue, affecting the entire body (generalized) or only regions (partial). This yields four major categories:
119 congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL), familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD), acquired generalized
120 lipodystrophy (AGL), and acquired partial lipodystrophy (APL) (Figure 1). Additional subtypes include
121 progeroid disorders, autoinflammatory disorders, and others (Table 1). This practice guideline will not
122 discuss lipodystrophy in HIV infected patients or localized lipodystrophy (e.g. from injectable drugs).
123
124 Lipodystrophy syndromes are frequently associated with hormonal and metabolic derangements resulting
125 in severe comorbidities (Table 2) that depend on the subtype, extent of fat loss, age, and gender. Many
126 complications of lipodystrophy are secondary to deficient adipose mass, resulting in ectopic lipid storage
127 in the liver, muscle, and other organs, causing insulin resistance. Insulin resistance leads to diabetes,
128 hypertriglyceridemia, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
129 (NAFLD) (1).
130
131 Major causes of mortality in patients with lipodystrophy include heart disease (cardiomyopathy, heart
132 failure, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia) (2-5), liver disease (liver failure, gastrointestinal hemorrhage,
133 hepatocellular carcinoma) (6,7), kidney failure (6), acute pancreatitis (7), and sepsis.
134
135 Due to the rarity of lipodystrophy syndromes, most clinicians are unfamiliar with their diagnosis and
136 management. In December 2015, an expert panel including representatives from endocrine societies
137 around the world convened to generate this practice guideline. The panel used the evidence rating system
138 of the American Heart Association (Supplemental Table 1) (8).

139
140 Overview of lipodystrophy syndromes:
141 This section reviews major categories of lipodystrophy. Detailed phenotypic information on individual
142 subtypes is in Table 3.
143
144 Congenital Generalized Lipodystrophy (CGL, Berardinelli-Seip Syndrome)
145 CGL is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by near-complete lack of fat starting at birth or
146 infancy, prominent muscles, phlebomegaly, acanthosis nigricans, hepatomegaly, umbilical prominence,
147 and voracious appetite in childhood (9,10). Multiple genetic causes have been identified, each with
148 unique clinical features (11-13). Metabolic complications are frequent and may be severe.
149 Cardiomyopathy or rhythm disturbances may occur.
150
151 Familial Partial Lipodystrophy (FPLD)
152 FPLD is a group of usually autosomal dominant disorders characterized by loss of fat affecting the limbs,
153 buttocks, and hips (10). Regional excess fat accumulation is frequent, varies by subtype, and may result in
154 a Cushingoid appearance. Fat distribution is typically normal in early childhood, with loss of fat occurring
155 around puberty. Muscular hypertrophy is common. Metabolic complications are common in adulthood
156 (14), with increased risk of coronary heart disease (15) and occasionally early cardiomyopathy.
157
158 Acquired Generalized Lipodystrophy (AGL, Lawrence syndrome):
159 AGL is more common in females (F:M; 3:1), and appears usually before adolescence (but may develop at
160 any time in life) with progressive loss of fat affecting the whole body including palms and soles (4).
161 Some fat accumulation can appear in the face, neck or axillae. Metabolic complications are frequent and
162 may be severe. AGL is often associated with autoimmune diseases (4,16).
163
164 Acquired Partial Lipodystrophy (APL, Barraquer-Simons syndrome):
8 Lipodystrophy Diagnosis and Treatment Consensus Statement Final Draft March 22, 2016
165 APL is more frequent in females (F:M; 4:1) and usually begins in childhood or adolescence. Loss of fat
166 follows a cranio-caudal trend, progressively affecting the face, neck, shoulders, arms, and trunk. Fat
167 accumulation can appear in the hips, buttocks and legs (17). APL is associated with autoimmune
168 diseases, especially membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) in ~20% (17). Most patients have
169 low serum complement 3 levels, and some have presence of C3 nephritic factor. Metabolic complications
170 are uncommon (17).
171
172
173 DIAGNOSIS OF LIPODYSTROPHY
174 Diagnosis of lipodystrophy is based on history, physical examination, body composition, and
175 metabolic status. (Class I, Level B)
176 There are no defined serum leptin levels that establish or rule out the diagnosis of
177 lipodystrophy. (Class IIa, Level C)
178 Confirmatory genetic testing is helpful in suspected familial lipodystrophies. (Class I, Level
179 A)
180 Genetic testing should be considered in at-risk family members. (Class IIa, Level C)
181 Serum complement levels and autoantibodies may support diagnosis of acquired
182 lipodystrophy syndromes. (Class IIa, Level B)
183
184 Firm diagnostic criteria for lipodystrophy have not been established. Figure 2 shows a suggested
185 diagnostic approach.
186
187 Establishing the presence of lipodystrophy
188 Lipodystrophy should be suspected in patients with regional or generalized lack of adipose tissue outside
189 of the normal range by physical examination, which can be supported by anthropometry, dual energy X-
9 Lipodystrophy Diagnosis and Treatment Consensus Statement Final Draft March 22, 2016
190 ray absorptiometry (DXA), and whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (18). Recognizing loss of
191 subcutaneous fat is particularly challenging in partial lipodystrophy and especially in men, in whom low
192 body fat overlaps with normal variation, and metabolic manifestations of lipodystrophy are less severe. In
193 both genetic and acquired lipodystrophies, loss of fat may be gradual, delaying diagnosis.
194
195 Physical, historical, and comorbid features that increase the suspicion of lipodystrophy (18) are in Table
196 4.
197
198 Because serum leptin assays are not standardized and leptin concentrations in patients with lipodystrophy
199 (especially partial forms) overlap the general population, leptin levels do not help in diagnosis, but may
200 help with choice of therapies.
201
202 Differential Diagnosis:
203 Differential diagnosis should include conditions presenting with severe weight loss (malnutrition,
204 anorexia nervosa, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, thyrotoxicosis, adrenocortical insufficiency, cancer
205 cachexia, HIV-associated wasting, chronic infections). Especially difficult is differentiating lipodystrophy
206 from uncontrolled diabetes, as both may present with extreme hypertriglyceridemia. However, restoring
207 glycemic control in patients with non-lipodystrophic diabetes leads to regain of body fat. Generalized
208 lipodystrophies can be confused with Donohue or Rabson Mendenhall syndromes (mutations of the
209 insulin receptor) or acromegaly/gigantism, and FPLD with Cushing’s syndrome, truncal obesity, and
210 multiple symmetric lipomatosis.
211
212 Establishing the subtype of lipodystrophy
213 Pattern of fat loss:
10 Lipodystrophy Diagnosis and Treatment Consensus Statement Final Draft March 22, 2016
214 Although the pattern of body fat loss in patients with a particular subtype of genetic lipodystrophy is quite
215 characteristic, heterogeneity occurs in the onset, severity, and pattern of fat loss, even within a single
216 family.
217
218 Distinguishing genetic from acquired lipodystrophy:
219 Pedigree analysis can suggest genetic versus acquired lipodystrophy. Review of photographs from
220 infancy may distinguish CGL from AGL, as infants typically show absent fat in CGL, and normal fat in
221 AGL. However, there have been cases of AGL with loss of fat during the first few months of life (4).
222 Patients with AGL lack family history, but can be confused with any type of genetic lipodystrophy,
223 especially those with de novo mutation.
224
225 The presence of autoimmune diseases (myositis, type 1 diabetes, autoimmune hepatitis, and others)
226 (4,10,16,17,19,20) increases the suspicion of acquired lipodystrophy. In APL, low serum C3, presence of
227 C3NeF, proteinuria or biopsy-proven MPGN support the diagnosis.
228
229 Genetic testing:
230 Genotyping may include limited candidate gene sequencing, a panel of candidate genes, or whole
231 exome/whole genome sequencing. The website, www.genetests.org, lists clinical and research
232 laboratories conducting genetic testing for lipodystrophy syndromes. Since there is strong evidence for
233 additional loci for genetic lipodystrophies, negative tests do not rule out a genetic condition.
234
235 Genetic counseling and screening of family members:
236 Genetic counseling must take into consideration that current understanding of the natural history of
237 genetic lipodystrophies and their complications is incomplete. In affected pedigrees, premarital
238 counseling with genetic testing to detect carrier status can be considered.
11 Lipodystrophy Diagnosis and Treatment Consensus Statement Final Draft March 22, 2016
239
240 Clinical diagnosis of lipodystrophy may be difficult in men (21), and some genotypes are associated with
241 mild lipodystrophy phenotypes (22,23). Genetic screening of family members may help identify
242 individuals with subtle phenotypes. Genetic screening may be particularly important for families with
243 specific LMNA mutations associated with cardiomyopathy and arrhythmia.
244
245
246 SCREENING FOR COMORBIDITIES
247 All patients should be screened for diabetes, dyslipidemia, NAFLD, cardiovascular, and reproductive
248 dysfunction. Because patients with APL are at low risk for metabolic complications, clinical judgment
249 should guide follow-up screening. Screening for comorbidities specific to individual lipodystrophy
250 subtypes is not extensively discussed here.
251
252 Diabetes mellitus
253 Diabetes screening should be performed annually. (Class IIa, Level C)
254 Diabetes screening should follow the guidelines of the American Diabetes Association (fasting plasma
255 glucose, oral glucose tolerance test, or hemoglobin A1c). Children with CGL may manifest diabetes in
256 the first years of life (9). Patients with AGL may develop Type 1 diabetes in addition to insulin resistance
257 (24); measurement of auto-antibodies may clarify the diagnosis.
258
259 Dyslipidemia
260 Triglycerides should be measured at least annually, and with occurrence of abdominal pain
261 or xanthomata. (Class I, Level C)
12 Lipodystrophy Diagnosis and Treatment Consensus Statement Final Draft March 22, 2016
262 Fasting lipid panel (total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein [LDL]-cholesterol, high density
263 lipoprotein [HDL]-cholesterol, triglycerides) should be measured at diagnosis and annually
264 after age 10 years. (Class IIa, Level C)
265
266 Liver disease
267 Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) should be
268 measured annually. (Class IIa, Level C)
269 Liver ultrasound should be performed at diagnosis, then as clinically indicated. (Class IIa,
270 Level C)
271 Liver biopsy should be performed as clinically indicated. (Class IIa, Level C)
272 In addition to physical examination, ultrasound and elastography are useful to estimate liver and spleen
273 size, severity of steatosis and fibrosis, and existence of portal hypertension. Patients with CGL2 are at
274 high risk for early cirrhosis, and those with AGL may have autoimmune hepatitis in addition to NAFLD
275 (19).
276
277 Reproductive dysfunction
278 Gonadal steroids, gonadotropins, and pelvic ultrasonography should be performed as
279 clinically indicated. (Class IIa, Level C)
280 Pubertal staging should be performed annually in children. (Class IIa, Level C)
281 Early adrenarche, true precocious puberty, or central hypogonadism may occur in children with
282 generalized lipodystrophy. Oligo/amenorrhea, decreased fertility, and PCOS are common in women.
283
284 Cardiac disease
285 Blood pressure should be measured at least annually. (Class I, Level C)
13 Lipodystrophy Diagnosis and Treatment Consensus Statement Final Draft March 22, 2016
286 ECG and echocardiogram should be performed annually in CGL and progeroid disorders,
287 and at diagnosis and as clinically indicated in FPLD and AGL. (Class IIa, Level C)
288 Evaluation for ischemia and rhythm monitoring should be considered in patients with
289 progeroid disorders and FPLD2 with cardiomyopathy. (Class IIa, Level C)
290 Hypertension is common (25), even in children. In patients with CGL4, atypical progeroid syndromes,
291 and FPLD2 due to LMNA mutations, cardiac abnormalities including ischemic heart disease,
292 cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, and sudden death are reported (3,23,26-33).
293
294 Kidney disease
295 Urine protein should be measured annually using 24 hour urine collection or urine protein
296 to creatinine ratio. (Class IIa, Level C)
297 Proteinuria is common (34). Kidney biopsy should be performed as clinically indicated, and pathology
298 may include diabetic nephropathy, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (especially in CGL) (34) or MPGN
299 (especially in APL) (17).
300
301 Malignancy
302 Lymphomas, particularly peripheral T-cell lymphoma, occur in AGL, with prevalence of ~7% (4,35).
303 Appropriate screening has not been established, but would reasonably include annual skin and lymph
304 node examination. Generalized lipodystrophy has been reported as a paraneoplastic manifestation of
305 pilocytic astrocytoma in three children who regained body fat following cancer therapy (36). Clinicians
306 should consider screening for brain tumors in children who present with idiopathic AGL or atypical CGL.
307 Specific progeroid syndromes (e.g. Bloom and Werner syndrome) are associated with increased
308 malignancy risk (Table 3).
309
310 TREATMENT OF LIPODYSTROPHY SYNDROMES
14 Lipodystrophy Diagnosis and Treatment Consensus Statement Final Draft March 22, 2016
311 Current therapies prevent or ameliorate the comorbidities of lipodystrophy syndromes. There is no cure
312 for lipodystrophy, and no treatment that can regrow adipose tissue.
313
314 Diet
315 Most patients should follow diets with balanced macronutrient composition. (Class IIa, Level
316 C)
317 Energy restricted diets improve metabolic abnormalities, and may be appropriate in adults.
318 (Class I, Level C)
319 Very low fat diets should be used in chylomicronemia-induced acute pancreatitis. (Class I,
320 Level C)
321 A dietician should be consulted for specialized dietary needs, especially in infants and young
322 children. Overfeeding should be avoided. (Class IIa, Level C)
323 Medium chain triglyceride (MCT) oil formulas can provide energy and reduce triglycerides
324 in infants. (Class IIa, Level C)
325 The cornerstone of therapy for metabolic complications of lipodystrophy is diet. Studies of specific diets
326 in lipodystrophy are lacking, and recommendations rely on sparse literature and clinical experience.
327
328 Patients with lipodystrophy, especially generalized forms, are typically hyperphagic due to leptin
329 deficiency. Energy-restricted diets in adolescents and adults lower triglycerides and glucose (37), but
330 dietary restriction is challenging to achieve. Food restriction to control metabolic complications must be
331 balanced by requirements for growth and development in children. Overfeeding to achieve normal weight
332 may worsen metabolic complications and hepatic steatosis. Assessment of weight-for-length and body
333 mass index (BMI) by comparison to reference growth data is not appropriate because body composition is
334 atypical. Low weight-for-length or BMI is acceptable provided linear growth is maintained. Patients with
335 lipodystrophy should not be labeled as having malnutrition.
15 Lipodystrophy Diagnosis and Treatment Consensus Statement Final Draft March 22, 2016
336
337 Patients should follow a 50-60% carbohydrate, 20-30% fat, and ~20% protein diet. Simple sugars should
338 be restricted in preference for high-fiber complex carbohydrates, distributed evenly among meals and
339 snacks and consumed in combination with protein or fat. Dietary fat should be primarily cis-mono-
340 unsaturated fats and long chain omega-3 fatty acids. In extremely hypertriglyceridemic infants, MCT-
341 based formula may help (38,39). During acute pancreatitis, parenteral nutrition followed by very low fat
342 (<20 grams) diet should be used.
343
344 Exercise
345 Patients with lipodystrophy should be encouraged to exercise in the absence of specific
346 contraindications. (Class IIa, Level C)
347 Patients with subtypes of lipodystrophy predisposed to cardiomyopathy should undergo
348 cardiac evaluation prior to initiating an exercise regimen. (Class III, Level C)
349 Individuals with lipodystrophy engaged in intense exercise have amelioration of metabolic complications.
350 Most patients should be encouraged to be physically active. However, strenuous exercise should be
351 avoided in patients with cardiomyopathy. Contact sports should be avoided in patients with severe
352 hepatosplenomegaly and CGL patients with lytic lesions in long bones.
353
354 Metreleptin
355 In generalized lipodystrophy, metreleptin (with diet) is a first-line treatment for metabolic
356 and endocrine abnormalities (Class I, Level B), and may be considered for prevention of
357 these comorbidities in young children. (Class IIb, Level C)
358 Metreleptin may be considered for hypoleptinemic (leptin < 4 ng/mL) patients with partial
359 lipodystrophy and severe metabolic derangements (HbA1C > 8% and/or triglycerides > 500
360 mg/dL). (Class IIb, Level B)
16 Lipodystrophy Diagnosis and Treatment Consensus Statement Final Draft March 22, 2016
361
362 Currently, metreleptin (recombinant human methionyl leptin) is the only drug approved specifically for
363 lipodystrophy. It is approved in the US as an adjunct to diet for treatment of metabolic complications in
364 patients with generalized lipodystrophy. In Japan, it is approved for both generalized and partial
365 lipodystrophy. It is available in other parts of the world (e.g. Europe) through compassionate use
366 programs. There is no age limit for initiation of metreleptin; children as young as 15 months have been
367 treated. A dosing algorithm is provided in Supplemental Table 2 (40). Dose adjustments should be made
368 in response to metabolic parameters and weight change, with clinical and laboratory assessment
369 performed every 3-6 months.
370
371 Metreleptin in Generalized Lipodystrophy
372 Metreleptin decreases hyperphagia (41-45), frequently leading to weight loss. Reduced food intake is at
373 least partially responsible for many of the metabolic improvements. If excessive weight loss occurs, the
374 dose of metreleptin should be reduced (Supplemental Table 2) (40).
375
376 Metreleptin markedly improved fasting glucose as early as the first week (42), and lowered HbA1c by 2%
377 after one year (46). To reduce the risk of hypoglycemia, frequent glucose monitoring is recommended.
378 Providers should consider reducing insulin doses by ~50% on initiation of metreleptin in patients with
379 well-controlled diabetes. Many young patients with CGL are able to discontinue insulin (46).
380
381 Metreleptin lowered triglycerides within one week (42), reaching 60% reduction at one year (46).
382 Metreleptin also decreased LDL- and total cholesterol, but did not change HDL-cholesterol (47,48).
383 Acute pancreatitis due to hypertriglyceridemia has occurred in patients who acutely discontinued or
384 reduced metreleptin (47).
385
17 Lipodystrophy Diagnosis and Treatment Consensus Statement Final Draft March 22, 2016
386 Metreleptin reduced hepatic steatosis, serum transaminases, and NASH scores within 6 to 12 months
387 (42,49-51). In one case, metreleptin ameliorated recurrence of severe hepatic steatosis after liver
388 transplantation (52).
389
390 Metreleptin decreased proteinuria in most patients (34,42). However, 4 patients had worsened renal
391 disease during metreleptin treatment, so renal function should be monitored closely with preexisting renal
392 disease (34).
393
394 In females, metreleptin normalized gonadotropin secretion, leading to normal progression of puberty,
395 normalization of menstrual periods (42,45,53,54), and improved fertility (1). Metreleptin decreased
396 testosterone in women, but did not alter ovarian morphology (45,53,55). In males, metreleptin increased
397 testosterone (45).
398
399 Metreleptin in Partial Lipodystrophy
400 The response to metreleptin in partial lipodystrophy is less robust than in generalized lipodystrophy. In
401 one study, metreleptin reduced hypertriglyceridemia and improved glycemia in severely hypoleptinemic
402 patients with partial lipodystrophy and severe metabolic derangements (baseline HbA1C > 8%,
403 triglycerides > 500 mg/dL, leptin < 4 ng/mL) (46). In a second study, metreleptin improved triglycerides
404 and indices of insulin sensitivity and secretion in FPLD2 patients with moderate to severe hypoleptinemia
405 (56). However, in a third study, no glycemic improvement was observed in FPLD2 patients with serum
406 leptin <7 ng/mL (57). Metreleptin is only available to patients with partial lipodystrophy through clinical
407 trials, compassionate use programs, and in Japan.
408
409 Side effects of metreleptin
18 Lipodystrophy Diagnosis and Treatment Consensus Statement Final Draft March 22, 2016
410 Approximately 30% of patients experience side effects (47). The most clinically important are
411 hypoglycemia (in patients receiving concomitant insulin) and infrequent injection-site reactions
412 (erythema, urticaria).
413
414 In vivo neutralizing antibody activity to leptin has been reported (58,59). The clinical implications
415 remain unclear, but may include treatment failure and sepsis (59). Additional serious adverse events
416 occurring during metreleptin treatment are likely related to the underlying lipodystrophy syndrome, rather
417 than metreleptin. These include T-cell lymphoma in patients with AGL (35), pancreatitis (47), and
418 worsening of liver (47) and kidney (34) disease.
419
420 Additional treatments for specific comorbidities
421 Diabetes
422 Metformin is a first-line agent for diabetes and insulin resistance (Class IIa, Level C)
423 Insulin is effective for hyperglycemia. In some patients, concentrated preparations and
424 high-doses may be required. (Class IIa, Level C)
425 Thiazolidinediones may improve metabolic complications in patients with partial
426 lipodystrophy, but should be used only with caution in generalized lipodystrophy. (Class IIb,
427 Level B)
428 Among the oral hypoglycemic agents, metformin is used most frequently. In patients with partial
429 lipodystrophy, thiazolidinediones improved HbA1c, triglycerides, hepatic volume and steatosis, but may
430 increase regional fat excess (Supplemental Table 3) (60,61). In patients with high insulin requirements,
431 concentrated insulins should be considered where available (62). Insulin glargine and degludec kinetics
432 may be altered when injected in lipodystrophic areas, as their long duration of action requires
433 subcutaneous fat (63,64). Patients with generalized lipodystrophy may have to take insulin by
19 Lipodystrophy Diagnosis and Treatment Consensus Statement Final Draft March 22, 2016
434 intramuscular routes for lack of subcutaneous fat. Many other hypoglycemic agents have been used in
435 lipodystrophy, but their efficacy has not been studied.
436
437 Dyslipidemia
438 In adults with diabetes, target LDL-cholesterol is <100 mg/dL, and non-HDL-cholesterol
439 <130 mg/dL (Class IIb, Level C)
440 Lipid-lowering medications should be used when lifestyle modification fails to reach
441 objectives in 3 months. (Class I, Level C)
442 Fibrates should be used for triglycerides > 500 mg/dl, and may be considered for
443 triglycerides >200 mg/dL (Class IIb, Level C)
444 Lipids should be managed in accordance with US and European guidelines for the general population,
445 with statins as first-line therapy (65,66). Because cardiovascular risk may be enhanced in lipodystrophic
446 syndromes independent of other risk factors, clinicians may consider applying stricter lipid targets (e.g.
447 LDL-cholesterol < 100 mg/dl, triglycerides < 200 mg/dL) even in patients without diabetes. In addition
448 to diet, fibrates and long-chain omega-3-fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid from fish
449 oils) have wide clinical use to avoid acute complications of severe hypertriglyceridemia (46), but have not
450 been formally studied. Plasmapheresis has been used in extreme hypertriglyceridemia, but must be
451 repeated frequently (67). Statins and fibrates should be used only with caution in the presence of known
452 myositis or muscular dystrophy (68).
453
454 Hypertension
455 Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB)
456 are first-line treatments for hypertension in patients with diabetes. (Class IIa, Level C)
457 As in other patients with diabetes, ACE-inhibitors or ARBs should be used for hypertension (69).
458
20 Lipodystrophy Diagnosis and Treatment Consensus Statement Final Draft March 22, 2016
459 Liver disease
460 Cholic acid did not reduce hepatic steatosis in patients with FPLD in a double-blind, placebo-controlled
461 cross-over study (70). In NAFLD not associated with lipodystrophy, diet and exercise are first-line
462 treatments (71), and among pharmacologic treatments, Vitamin E (in children and adults) (72,73) and
463 pioglitazone (in adults) (72,74) have shown the most consistent benefit for liver histopathology.
464 However, these treatments have not been studied in patients with lipodystrophy and are not approved for
465 NAFLD.
466
467 Cosmetic treatment
468 Patients should be assessed for distress related to lipodystrophy, and referred as necessary
469 to mental health professionals and/or plastic surgeons. (Class IIa, Level C)
470 Changes in physical appearance from lipodystrophy can cause psychological distress and physical
471 discomfort (e.g. from absent fat pads in feet or buttocks). Data regarding cosmetic surgery are limited.
472 For facial lipoatrophy, autologous fat transfer (in APL), dermal fillers (7,75), or muscle grafts (76) may
473 be used. Excess fat from the head, neck, or vulva may be surgically reduced or ameliorated by
474 liposuction (7). Breast implants are helpful in some women (77,78). Acanthosis nigricans is improved
475 through successful treatment of insulin resistance (79,80). Management of hirsutism is reviewed
476 elsewhere (81).
477
478 Contraception and hormone replacement therapy
479 Oral estrogens are contraindicated. (Class IIa, Level C)
480 If contraception is needed, progestin-only or non-hormonal contraceptives should be
481 considered. (Class IIa, Level C)
482 If estrogen replacement is needed, transdermal estrogen should be used. (Class IIa, Level C)
483 Oral estrogens are contraindicated in lipodystrophy syndromes due to risk of severe hypertriglyceridemia
21 Lipodystrophy Diagnosis and Treatment Consensus Statement Final Draft March 22, 2016
484 and acute pancreatitis. Transdermal estrogens may be safer due to lesser hepatic exposure (82,83). There
485 is clinical experience in the safe use of oral progestins and progestin containing intrauterine devices.
486
487 Pregnancy
488 Pregnant patients should receive prenatal care from an obstetrician experienced in
489 managing diabetes, and a physician experienced in managing lipodystrophy. (Class IIa, level
490 C)
491 Should a patient become pregnant while taking metreleptin, clinicians may consider
492 continuing metreleptin if withdrawal would harm the mother and fetus, and the patient
493 understands that effects of metreleptin in pregnancy are unknown, and wishes to continue.
494 (Class IIc, level C)
495 In patients with lipodystrophy who have extreme insulin resistance at baseline, worsening insulin
496 resistance during pregnancy may make diabetes management difficult, with attendant fetal risks.
497 Furthermore, metreleptin withdrawal has been associated with rebound hypertriglyceridemia (41), placing
498 patients at risk for pancreatitis, endangering both mother and fetus.
499
500 Conclusions
501 Lipodystrophy syndromes are a group of heterogeneous syndromes with diverse pathophysiology. For
502 diagnosis, clinical recognition and physical examination are critical. In management efforts, attention
503 should be paid to metabolic derangements, and to many other facets of these syndromes affecting
504 multiple organs, and quality of life.

555 subcutaneous fat from the limbs and anterior truncal region. The breasts were atrophic. She had increased
556 subcutaneous fat deposits in the face, anterior neck and vulvar regions. C. Anterior view of an 8-year-old
557 German boy with acquired generalized lipodystrophy. He had severe generalized loss of subcutaneous fat
558 with marked acanthosis nigricans in the neck, axillae and groin. D. Anterior view of a 45-year-old
559 Caucasian female with acquired partial lipodystrophy (Barraquer-Simons syndrome). She had marked
560 loss of subcutaneous fat from the face, neck, upper extremities, and chest and but had lipodystrophy on
561 localized regions on anterior thighs. She had increased subcutaneous fat deposition in the lower
562 extremities.

564 Figure 2: Diagnostic approach to lipodystrophy syndromes
565 Lipodystrophy should be suspected in patients with regional or generalized lack of adipose tissue. History
566 should assess age of onset of fat loss and comorbidities. Physical examination should determine
567 distribution of subcutaneous fat loss and presence of prominent muscles, phlebomegaly, acanthosis
568 nigricans, hepatomegaly, xanthomas, and acromegaloid or progeroid appearance. All patients should
569 undergo metabolic work up for insulin resistance, diabetes, dyslipidemia and fatty liver disease.
570 Conventional anthropometry including skinfold thickness measurements, ± DXA and whole body MRI (if
40 Lipodystrophy Diagnosis and Treatment Consensus Statement Final Draft March 22, 2016
571 available) should be performed to confirm the pattern of fat loss. Common genetic lipodystrophies
572 include congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL), familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD) and progeroid
573 lipodystrophies. They require genotyping to confirm the diagnosis followed by genetic counseling and
574 screening of family members. Patients with progeroid lipodystrophies have progeroid features like bird
575 like facies, high-pitched voice, skin atrophy and pigmentation, alopecia and nail dysplasia. Patients with
576 FPLD have fat loss of the extremities typically occurring around puberty and can have positive family
577 history. Patients with CGL have near-complete lack of fat starting at birth or infancy. Acquired
578 lipodystrophies have fat loss typically in late childhood. Patients with acquired generalized lipodystrophy
579 (AGL) have generalized loss of subcutaneous fat and often have associated autoimmune diseases. Patients
580 with acquired partial lipodystrophy (APL) have cranio-caudal fat loss affecting the face, neck, shoulders,
581 arms, and upper trunk and most patients have low serum complement 3 levels.
