Lipoproteins and cholesterol homeostasis in paediatric nephrotic syndrome patients.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate lipoprotein particle distributions and the likelihood of achieving cholesterol homeostasis in the remission phase of nephrotic syndrome (NS) in paediatric patients. We hypothesized that lipoprotein particle distributions moved toward less atherogenic profile and that cholesterol homeostasis was achieved.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-three children, 2 to 9 years old with NS were recruited.
