Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Heavy proteinuria is associated with marked abnormalities of lipoprotein metabolism and increased risk of atherogenesis. It is possible that qualitative as well as quantitative changes occur in lipoproteins to contribute to increased cardiovascular risk; for example, it is known that LDL exhibits heterogeneity, with small, dense LDL III particles being more atherogenic. METHODS: We investigated LDL...
