[The role of lipid metabolism disorders in kidney disease in metabolic syndrome associated with obesity].

Aim: To study the role of lipid metabolism impairment in renal disease in patients with metabolic syndrome associated with obesity.

Material And Methods: Lipid metabolism was studied in 77 patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) aged from 17 to 63 years (mean age 48 +/- 9 years). Lipid abnormalities were analysed in groups of patients with different degree of obesity: group 1 - body mass index (BMI) 25-29.9 kg/m2 (n = 13), group 2 - BMI 30-39.9 kg/m2 (n = 49), group 3 - BMI > 40 kg/m2 (n = 15), and in groups of patients with different insulin resistance (IR) : group 1 - HOMA-IR < 2; n = 12; group 2 - HOMA-IR 2 - 4; n = 27; group 3 HOMA-IR > 4; n = 32). Correlation between plasma lipid composition abnormalities and markers of renal disease were studied with correlation analysis.

Results: Lipid disbolism in MS patients was characterized with elevated level of triglycerides, total cholesterol (TC), VLDLP cholesterol, low level of HDLP cholesterol. A significant relationship was detected between defective blood lipid composition and renal dysfunction: rise of microalbuminuria, proteinuria, creatinin, inhibition ofglomerular filtration rate.

Conclusion: The changes found characterize lipid metabolism disorder as an independent factor of kidney disease in patients with MS.
