Abstract excerpt
This cross-sectional study was undertaken to examine the relationship between plasma lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] level and peritoneal dialysis (PD) albumin clearance while controlling for the influence of the apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)] phenotype. Plasma Lp(a) level, PD albumin clearance, and apo(a) phenotype (high vs. low molecular weight, HMW vs. LMW) were determined in 54 PD patients. Apo(a) phenotypes were 24 LMW...
