[Biochemical markers of atherogenesis in a nephrotic form of glomerulonephritis in children]

A study was made of the regularities and changes in the fatty acid spectrum of total lipids of the blood serum, in interaction of carbohydrate lipid metabolism, and in the hypophyseal and thyroid system in 92 patients with the nephrotic form of acute and chronic glomerulonephritis. It has been discovered that the nephrotic form of glomerulonephritis is marked by a complex of changes in the fatty acid spectrum of the blood serum, in carbohydrate lipid metabolism at the sites of their conjunction, and in the hypophyseal and thyroid system which can be regarded as metabolic potentialities of atherosclerosis formation.
