Abstract
In this study, plasma concentrations of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density li/x)protein cholesterol (LDL-C). apolipoprotein A-I (Apo A-l) and B (Apo B), and the ratios of HDL-C to TC, HDL-C to LDL-C and Apo A-I to Apo B in 38 hemodialysis and 30 predialvsis patients were compared with the concentrations and ratios in 34 healthy subjects.The highest plasma TC. HDL-C' TC . HDL-C/ LDL-C, and Apo A-L Apo B ratios in both of the patient gruops. As a result, these data show that patients who undergo regular hemodialysis show tendency of atherosclerotic disease development. [Journal of Turgut Özal Medical Center 1(3): 194-197,1994]
