title: Effect of diabetes mellitus and end-stage renal disease on HDL metabolism.
abstract: Different types of diabetes mellitus have different effects on high density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism. Impaired glucose tolerance may be associated with no change or a slight decrease in HDL cholesterol. Type I diabetes may have normal or elevated HDL cholesterol levels. This HDL elevation may be due to an increase in HDL2 or HDL3. Apo A-I/Apo A-II ratio is also higher in these diabetics. Type II diabetics may have normal or low HDL cholesterol levels as well as normal or decreased Apo A-I levels. In gestational diabetics, the mean HDL cholesterol is lower than controls. Dietary therapy resulting in greater than 10% weight loss in obese diabetics leads to an increase in their HDL-cholesterol levels, although the effect on the latter is controversial. Intensive insulin therapy (for 2-3 weeks) increases serum apo A-I and HDL-cholesterol levels. End-stage renal disease also affects HDL metabolism. In general, patients with this disorder have a decrease of cholesterol and an increase in triglyceride in their HDL. There is an increase in apo E and a decrease in apo CII in their HDL. Apo A-I levels are unaffected whereas apo A-II levels are decreased. Renal transplant patients may have low, normal or high HDL cholesterol and normal or high apo-I levels. In non-diabetic, normotriglyceridemic patients peritoneal dialysis increases their HDL-cholesterol. In non-diabetic hypertriglyceridemic and diabetic patients, peritoneal dialysis causes no change in their HDL-cholesterol.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
