apoA- AND apoB-CONTAINING LIPOPROTEINS AND Lp(A) CONCENTRATION IN NON-DIALYZED PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE

Abstract

Our results may indicate that the reduced levels of apoA-containing lipoproteins and increased TG-rich apoB-containing lipoproteins and Lp(a) indicated a clear atherogenic pattern in early renal disease. Increased Lp(a) concentration may result in nonspecific synthesis or catabolism disturbances. Measurement and monitoring of lipoprotein family profiles offers a new means for selecting appropriate therapies targeted for normalizing dyslipidemia in non-dialyzed patients.
