title: [The lipid profile in children with nephrosis].
abstract: The serum lipid levels of 25 children with SNI of LGM were quantified. All cases showed total cholesterol and triglyceride levels above the 95% percentile for both their age and sex (417 +/- 119 mg/dL and 448 +/- 313 mg/dL respectively). Ninety-two percent of the children showed LBD above the 95 percentile for their and sex (307 +/- 108 mg/dL) and 72% showed LAD in the normal lower limit, under the fifth percentile for their age and sex (26.9 +/- 13.7 mg/dL). A important percentage of the patients showed elevated LMBD (90.8 +/- 61.0 mg/dL). A direct proportional relationship occurred between total cholesterol and LBD (r = + 0.854), yet, an inverted relationship was not seen between total cholesterol and LAD (r = -0.315) nor between total cholesterol and serum albumin (r = -0.248).
