Are oxidized low-density lipoprotein and C-reactive protein markers of atherosclerosis in nephrotic children?

Abstract

We observed presence of pro-atherogenic lipid profile in INS. Elevation of oxLDL may reflect increased oxidative stress and higher risk of atherosclerosis in INS, therefore it seems to be relevant to find patients of risk of atherosclerosis to consider lipid lowering treatment with antioxidants.
