Abstract

We investigated lipoprotein profile of 18 non-dialysis patients with CRF and 17 patients on hemodialysis, and studied effect of LPD plus EAA on lipid metabolism of 18 non-dialysis patients with CRF. The results revealed that total triglyceride, cholesterol, LDL, VLDL, and semi-quantity of ApoCII, ApoCIII were significantly increased, and HDL, ApoAI ApoAI/ApoB rate, semiquantify of ApoCI were significantly reduced in non-dialysis patients and patients on hemodialysis; VLDL and Ccr were closely negative related in non-dialysis patients. The lipid abnormalities were more severe in non-dialysis patients complicated with hypertension than without hypertension. After 6 to 10 weeks' LPD plus EAA treatment in 18 non-dialysis patients, total triglyceride, cholesterol, LDL, VLDL were significantly reduced, and HDL, ApoAI, ApoAI/ApoB were significantly increased. We conclude that it is characterized by type IV hyperlipidemia in lipid abnormalities of patients with CRF, and LPD plus EAA treatment may improve it effectively.
