Lipoprotein (Lp)(a) concentrations were measured in eight patients with nephrotic syndrome in the age range of 8 to 69 yrs. Mean (±SE) levels of serum Lp(a) were elevated in the nephrotic patients compared to controls (76.5±19.7 vs 18.6±0.9 mg/dl, p<0.001). After treatment with prednisolone, Lp(a) concentrations were decreased from 85.2±21.6 to 42.2±14.0 mg/dl. During the treatment, serum total cholesterol showed a negative correlation with serum albumin concentration. However, no correlation was noted between Lp(a) and serum albumin concentration. There were no significant correlations between Lp(a) and other lipoprotein lipid and apolipoprotein levels. It was concluded that hyperLp(a) aemia may be an independent risk factor in the development of premature atherosclerosis in patients with nephrotic syndrome.
