Serum lipids in chronic renal failure.

The serum lipids and lipoprotein patterns in 100 adult patients with nonnephrotic chronic renal failure were analyzed retrospectively. Hypertriglyceridemia was found in 43% of these patients. Forty-nine of the 100 had a normal lipoprotein pattern, whereas 42 had type IV hyperlipoproteinemia. This abnormal lipoprotein pattern could not be correlated with the degree of renal impairment, the type of renal disease, or with the patient's age, sex, weight, or diet.

Hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome and steroid diabetes. Occurrence after renal transplantation.

So-called steroid (glucocorticoids) diabetes developed in 11 (5.5%) of 202 patients receiving 216 renal allografts between December 1963 and June 1974. In three of the 11 patients, hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome was present at diagnosis; all of the three recovered. Eight of the 11 patients survived with functioning allografts, and only one of the eight requires insulin. Hyperglycemia has been detected in most transplant patients tested in the immediate postoperative period. Factors (including stress from surgery and treatment with drugs such as furosemide) predispose to this condition.

Lipoprotein profiles in adult nephrotics.

Lipoproteins and lipoprotein profiles were determined in 96 adult nephrotic patients. The serum cholesterol-serum albumin, serum triglycerides-serum albumin and 24-hour urine protein loss-serum albumin values were all significantly inversely correlated. The serum triglycerides and serum cholesterol levels were not significantly lower in the group of lupus nephrotic patients compared to the nonlupus nephrotics. All lipoprotein types except type I were observed. The lipoprotein types fell into three nearly equal groups--IIa, IIb, and V. Type IV, the most common lipoprotein abnormality in uremic patients, was distinctly uncommon.
