Hypolipidemia and Sepsis: It is The Hypolipidemia Not The Statins
نویسنده
چکیده
To The Editor: I read with great interest the correspondence written by Mathew and Daniel [1], who have the same concerns regarding the potential risks of hypolipidemia [2]. However, Mathew and Daniel referred to the recently published systemic review by Falagas and his colleagues [3], who analyzed twenty studies that examined the use of statins in patients with septicemia and other different bacterial and viral infections. They concluded that statins may have a positive role in treatment of patients with sepsis and infection.

متن کاملPrevalence of ANGPTL3 and APOB gene mutations in subjects with combined hypolipidemia.
OBJECTIVE Mutations of the ANGPTL3 gene have been associated with a novel form of primary hypobetalipoproteinemia, the combined hypolipidemia (cHLP), characterized by low total cholesterol and low HDL-cholesterol levels. The aim of this work is to define the role of ANGPTL3 gene as determinant of the combined hypolipidemia phenotype in 2 large cohorts of 913 among American and Italian subjects ...
