Liver, lipoproteins and disease: II. Clinical relevance of disordered cholesterol metabolism in liver disease.
The alterations in the concentration and composition of lipoproteins that occur in liver disease indicate the central role of the liver in lipoprotein metabolism. A number of studies have characterized plasma lipoproteins in patients with liver disease, although in most cases the underlying molecular defects responsible for the changes are still undetermined.
