  • Title: Effect of protein-reduced diet on plasma lipids, apolipoproteins and lipolytic activities in patients with chronic renal failure.
    Author: Attman PO, Gustafson A, Alaupovic P, Wang CS.
    Journal: Am J Nephrol; 1984; 4(2):92-8. PubMed ID: 6586074.
    Abstract:
    The effect of treatment with protein-reduced diet on plasma lipids, apolipoproteins and lipolytic activities was studied in 15 patients with chronic renal failure. Mean treatment time was 7.4 months. Before treatment serum triglycerides were elevated as were the levels of apolipoprotein C-I and especially C-III. Postheparin plasma lipolytic activities were reduced. The treatment was effective in reducing the serum urea levels but had no significant influence on either plasma lipids, apolipoprotein levels or lipolytic activities. The abnormalities of lipid transport in chronic renal failure thus seem to be more dependent on loss of renal function than the degree of uremic intoxication.
