title: [Lipid disturbances in the nephrotic syndrome].
abstract: Disturbances of lipid metabolism are a constant feature of nephrotic syndrome. In patients with NS they compose a significant risk factor of atherosclerosis and progression of renal insufficiency. However, mechanisms leading to these disturbances are still not fully understood. The paper presents summary of hitherto published studies, experimental, as well as clinical trying to elucidate the patomechanism of lipid disturbances in the course of nephrotic syndrome.
