LIPID PROFILE ABNORMALITIES IN NEPHROTIC SYNDROME

Hemostatic profile in nephrotic syndrome.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the coagulation profile and its relation to steroid therapy, and the frequency of thromboembolic complications and its correlation with coagulation parameters in nephrotic syndrome (NS). SETTING Hospital based. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Forty children with NS were subdivided into four groups, namely, fresh cases, steroid dependent, remission after therapy and steroid resist...

Lipid Profile Abnormalities in Hypothyroidism

The present investigation was conducted to study the contributive role of clinical and subclinical hypothyroidism in causing dyslipidemia. A total of 220 clinical hypothyroidism patients, 146 subclinical hypothyroids and 200 euthyroid controls, with a mean age of 39 years (range25 – 55 years) were included. The thyropropin, triiodothyronine and thyroxine levels of the patients were assayed by e...

Effect of Genistein and L-carnitine and Their Combination on Lipid Profile and Inflammatory Cytokines in Experimental Nephrotic Syndrome

Background: Nephrotic syndrome is a disorder caused by kidney damage that results in severe leakage of protein from blood into urine. Hyperlipidemia is one complication of nephrotic syndrome. L-carnitine and genistein can control cardiovascular diseases by causing changes in lipid metabolism and cytokine production. This study was designed to examine the effects of genistein and L-carnitine on ...

Lipid Profile and Leptin Levels in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome

Abstract Background and Objective: Metabolic syndrome called a cluster of several metabolic disorders is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Genetic differences in leptin receptor gene are related with the concentration and activity of leptin in that these discrepancies can influence lipid levels. We aimed to determine the association between the leptin receptor gene p...
