title: Effect of heparin-induced extracorporeal lipoprotein apheresis on renal function.
abstract: During the course of heparin-induced extracorporeal lipoprotein apheresis, a patient with no prior known renal impairment or proteinuria demonstrated sustained improvement in estimated glomerular filtration rate, commensurate with reduction in serum lipids and creatine phosphokinase levels. Causes and implications of this observation, which was not a priori, are discussed.
