title: Plasma lipoprotein patterns in  patients receiving dialysis therapy for chronic renal failure.
abstract: A study is reported of the prevalence, nature and possible aetiology of the hyperlipidaemia found in a group of 74 patients receiving maintenance dialysis. Sixty patients were receiving haemodialysis and 14 peritoneal dialysis. Sixty-four per cent of the male and 83% of the female patients had a lipoprotein abnormality which was predominantly of the Type IV pattern, probably due to a combination of increased hepatic triglyceride synthesis and diminished peripheral clearance.
