Lecithin: cholesterol-acyl-transferase (LCAT) activity in renal allograft patients. Preliminary report.
LCAT activity is impaired in chronic renal failure. Our data show that LCAT activity is restored in successful renal transplant patients. Hence, relationship between kidney and LCAT activity can be postulated, but the underlying mechanisms are not yet fully clarified.
