Apolipoprotein and lipid abnormalities in chronic liver failure
Spósito,A.C.; Vinagre,C.G.; Pandullo,F.L; Mies,S.; Raia,S.; Ramires,J.A.F.Total serum lipids, as well as apolipoproteins A-I (apo A-I) and B (apo B), were determined in 74 patients with chronic liver failure without cholestasis and in 82 normal subjects. The VLDL, LDL and HDL lipid fractions were reduced in the liver failure group by 36%, 24% and 46%, respectively (P<0.001). Apolipoproteins A-I and B were also reduced by 26% and 25%, respectively (P<0.001). However, the reducti...

Canelas,H. M.; Roitman,I.; Scaff,M.; Raia,S.; De Jorge,F.
