BONET ROSELLO, Lizette et al. Perfil sérico de lípidos y apoproteínas A-I y B en pacientes sometidos a tratamiento hemodialítico. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 1997, vol.16, n.2, pp. 116-123. ISSN 1561-3011.

Serum concentrations of cholesterol (Chol), triglycerides (TG), high density lipoproteins-cholesterol (HDL-c), low density lipoproteins-cholesterol (LDL-c), and apoproteins A-I and B were determined in 101 hemodialysis patients with end-stage renal failure (ESRF). The results were compared with those obtained in 50 control subjects. Statistically significant differences of all the analytes concentrations were found in both groups. Patients grouped according to the etiology of ESRF showed a similar behaviour, except those with diabetic nephropathy who had the lowest concentrations of Apo-I. No correlation could be found between the duration of hemodialysis or the evidence of vascular disease and the variables determined.
