Lipid profiles of patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis / 中国实用内科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objectives To investigate the serum lipid profiles in patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis(CAPD).Methods Serum lipid levels were cross-sectional and prospective investigated in patients with CAPD.Results Compared with those in normal controls,serum TG and apoB increased while HDL,HDL 2,apo A1/apoB and LCAT activity decreased significantly in CAPD patients.TC,LDL-ch and Lp(a) also increased in CAPD patients.Serum Lp(a),LDL-ch,apoB and apoE increased significantly following the CAPD therapy.Conclusions Hyperlipidemia is quite common in CAPD patients and serum lipid levels may change with the time on CAPD.
