Popis: In comparison with a control group, significantly lower lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase activities and HDL-cholesterol values were found in the serum of patients undergoing chronic haemodialysis, while apolipoprotein A concentration remained unchanged. Reduced activity of lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase is an indication of the abnormal cholesterol metabolism in haemodialysed patients and could be, in addition to other factors, an explanation for the high incidence of cardiovascular diseases in this patient group.
