    Abstract:
    The glucose tolerance and serum lipids pattern were studied in 20 hemodialyzed patients after 8 and 12 hours of fasting. They all were non-obese uremics under 40 years of age. The test was conducted according to the nutritional conditions of the protocol of de Gennes. Fasting hyperglycemia and an abnormal glucose tolerance test were observed in 75% of the patients. The basal serum insulin levels were increased in 80% of the cases. 40% of the population studied exhibited significant hypertriglyceridemia after 12 hours and 65% after only 8 hours of fasting. Thus, this protocol was useful for detecting abnormalities in the metabolism of triglycerides in hemodialyzed patients with few baseline disturbances. The normal levels of serum triglycerides at 12 hours could be explained by 1) the relatively young age of the population studied and 2) dialysis with glucose free solutions.
