title: [Advantages and limitations of the nephelometric method in the diagnosis of hyperlipoidemia in the diabetic (author's transl)].
abstract: The AA., in a comparative study of the nephelometric and electrophoretic methods in the typification of hyperlipoidemia in diabetics, demonstrate close concordance between the two methods as regards Type IV and Type V hyperlipoidemia, with the difference that the nephelometric method often reveals in increase in chylomicrons with an individuation in excess. The nephelometric technique also reveals an increase in M particles in hypertriglyceridemic patients even in cases in which the electrophoretic prebetalipoproteins appear normal. This method, thanks to its simplicity and reliability, therefore appears useful in mass screening for prebeta-VLDL hyperlipoidemia in diabetics.
