title: [Lipoprotein(a) and lipids in chronic renal insufficiency and kidney transplant].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To establish the prevalence of lipid and lipoprotein (a) abnormalities in patients under hemodialysis or who underwent renal transplantation.
  
  
  METHODS
  Forty dialyzed patients, 64 transplanted and a comparison group of 77 subjects of the general population paired by gender and age were studied.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The most prevalent disorder in the hemodialysis was hypoalfalipoproteinemia followed by Lp(a) excess while the least common disorder was hypercholesterolemia. The transplanted patients had the lowest prevalence of Lp(a) excess and a higher proportion of hypercholesterolemia when compared to hemodialysis patients but similar to that of controls.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our results confirmed some previous findings observations of others but differed in that hypoalfalipoproteinemia and not hypertriglyceridemia was the predominant abnormality in the hemodialysis patients.
