Serum Lipid and Lipoprotein Patterns in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis and Chronic Active Hepatitis

Abstract

In this study, the striking decrease in the level of serum LDL cholesterol in patients with liver disease was related to the increasing severity of the disease. Accordingly, the assessment of the serum LDL cholesterol level is important for an effective treatment and prognostic evaluation of patients with chronic liver disease.
