Evaluating risk factors for developing atherosclerosis on patients with nephrotic syndrome basing on blood lipid indicator

ABSTRACT

The survey on serum lipid level and atherosclerosis risk on 70 patients with chronic nephritis and nephrotic syndrome (51 male, 19 female, 18-52 years old) showed that average value of cholesterol level, triglycerides, LDL-C and Apo B levels increased, HDL-C, Apo-A1 decreased in comparison with those in normal people. Absolute rate of cases with increased cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL-C at high level were 100%, 97% and 62.86%, respectively. Atherosclerosis risks based on blood lipid indicators were rather high, of which 77.14% for CT/HDL-C; 47.14% for LDL-C/HDL-C and 72.86% for Apo-B/Apo-A1
