Serum lipoprotein(a) concentrations and apolipoprotein(a) phenotypes in hemodialysis, chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and post-transplant patients.

Abstract excerpt

Serum lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] concentrations and apolipoprotein(a) apo(a) phenotypes were determined in 81 hemodialysis (HD) patients, 37 chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients, 25 post-transplant patients and 99 healthy subjects as the reference group. The CAPD patients had significantly higher serum Lp(a) concentration than HD patients, but both had significantly increased Lp(a) levels as...
