Abstract:
The survey on serum lipid level and atherosclerosis risk on 70 patients with chronic nephritis and nephrotic syndrome (51 male, 19 female, 18-52 years old) showed that average value of cholesterol level, triglycerides, LDL-C and Apo B levels increased, HDL-C, Apo-A1 decreased in comparison with those in normal people. Absolute rate of cases with increased cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL-C at high level were 100%, 97% and 62.86%, respectively. Atherosclerosis risks based on blood lipid indicators were rather high, of which 77.14% for CT/HDL-C; 47.14% for LDL-C/HDL-C and 72.86% for Apo-B/Apo-A1
