Abstract excerpt
Serum lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) was measured in 101 men with end-stage chronic renal failure (CRF) receiving haemodialysis and in 101 age-matched male controls. Apolipoprotein(a) genetic polymorphism was determined by immunoblotting in 100 patients and in 92 controls. Patients with CRF on haemodialysis had significantly greater serum Lp(a) than controls. Apolipoprotein(a) phenotype frequencies in patients with CRF...
