| Abstract |
|
Data obtained from 59 hospitalized patients with minimal change nephrotic syndrome which
was confirmed by kidney biopsy, were analyzed for serum albumin, serum lipids, 24hr urine
protein, creatinine clearanee, HDL-eholesterol. In 38 of the patients, lipoproteins were analyzed.
The following results were obained
1. Serum phospolipid (PL) was increased whenever serum total cholesterol (TC) was
increased but to a lesser degree. The ratio of TC/PL were greater than normal (Fig. 1).
The relationship between TC and TG (triglyceride) was very irregular (Fig. 2).
2. Concentrations of serum cholesterol and phospholipid were related inversely to serum
albumin levels (r= — 0.62, r = — 0.66 respectively, Fig. 3 and 4). The relationship between
triglyceride and albumin was less regular than that of the other lipids (Fig. 5).
3. No significant correlation between serum lipids and the 24hr urine protein excretion or
creatinine clearance was noted (Fig. 6).
4. Serum lipoprotein patterns were determined in 38 patients. Thirty-one of the 38 patients
had abnormal lipoprotein patterns. Fifty two percents of the hyperlipoproteinemias were
Fredrickson type Hb (table 2).
5. HDL-cholesterol levels were not lower than that of the normal.
6. Cardiac symptoms or abnormal EKG findings were not detected. From the above findings,
we can conclude that the risk of ischemic heart disease is not high in minimal change nephrotic
syndrome in children.
