ABSTRACT
Observations of serum lipids and lipoproteins in 35 uraemic patients treated conservatively (20 cases) and by maintenance haemodialysis (15 cases) are presented. Serum triglycerides levels of both groups (243.7 +/- 119.1 and 160.8 +/- 55.0 mg/dl) were significantly higher (p less than 0.001) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) levels (19.0 +/- 6.1 and 12.17 +/- 5.1 mg/dl) were significantly lower (p less than 0.001) in comparison to those in 20 controls. Agarose gel electrophoresis revealed a second, slow migrating pre-beta band in significantly higher percentage of uraemics (55% and 93.3%) as compared to controls (25%). Until the effects of uraemia and chronic haemodialysis on lipoprotein metabolism are better understood, caution should be exercised in the interpretation of HDLC levels in these patients.
