Abstract:
To explore the clinical significance on alteration of serum lipids in acute leukemia (AL) patients, the level of serum lipids was monitored in 86 AL cases by using of automatic biochemical analyzer. The results showed that TG was significantly higher (P < 0.05) while TC, LDL-C and HDL-C were obviously lower (P < 0.05) in AL patients than those in normal controls. After chemotherapy, TG decreased but TC, LDL-C and HDL-C were still higher (P < 0.05) as comparing to pre-treatment in complete remission cases. There were no changes of those parameters in non-remission patients. It is concluded that determination of serum lipids level in AL patients is a simple and important accessory index to evaluate curative effect and monitor patient's condition.
