title: [Serum lipoprotein fractions in chronic liver diseases with and without alcoholism].
abstract: Total serum cholesterol (C) and triglyceride (TG) levels, C and TG-VLDL, C-LDL and C-HDL, total apoprotein B (apo B) and albumin (alb.) have been studied in three groups of patients with liver cirrhosis (CE), persistent hepatitis (EPS) and alcoholic chronic liver disease (EA) divided in two sub-groups of 4 EPS and 4 CE, and have been compared with controls values. In all cases the diagnosis was made on liver biopsy C, C-LDL and C-HDL levels were significantly lower in EPS, C and C-LDL in EA and CE; comparing the three groups each other, the only statistically significant difference was found for C-HDL values, more elevated in the 4 cases of EPS with alcoholism than in CE and EPS without alcoholism.
