[Lipiduria in the nephrotic syndrome].
A study was made of urine lipids and their fractions in chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) and renal amyloidosis with nephrotic syndrome (NS). 91 patients suffering from NS were examined. 2 subgroups were distinguished among these patients: with CGN of the nephrotic type and with the nephrotic stage of renal amyloidosis. The reference groups were made up of patients with latent CGN and healthy subjects. Measurements were made in the blood and urine of total lipids (TL) and their fractions--phospholipids (LP), free cholesterol (FC), mono- and diglycerides, triglycerides (TG), and cholesterol esters (CE). The presence of the NS was attended by a rise in the blood of TL concentration, relative content of FC, TG and by a decline of RL and CE, with the decrease of the relative content being more manifest in amyloidosis. Nephrotic lipiduria was largely characterized by an increase of the concentration of TL and of the relative content of PL, with the changes of the latter parameter being mostly characteristic of CGN patients. Thus, NS was associated with a high excretion of lipids with urine which is likely to reflect their elevated filtration under nephrotic hyperlipidemia. Still, in nephropathies whose pathogenesis is determined by an important role of inflammatory and membrane-destructive processes, of definite role is also the local (renal) formation of PL.
