Serum lipid and lipoprotein abnormalities in major clinical entities of renal disease.
More than half of the patients with glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome and renovascular hypertension showed obviously abnormal profiles of serum lipoproteins (Lps). The abnormal profiles returned to normal or near-normal when the disease was ameliorated or corrected surgically. A unique Lp profile (broad midband pattern, BMP) was observed in approximately 89% of uremic patients on hemodialysis therapy. The results of the current investigations indicated that the BMP could probably be formed by the accumulation of catabolic remnants of VLDL.
