Abstract:
Plasma lipid parameters were measured in 99 children with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and compared with a large age-matched healthy control group. All measurements were made in the same laboratory. Changes in cholesterol levels were found, some levels increased, some decreased. The triglyceride levels were significantly higher. Most marked changes in triglyceride level were observed in patients with changes in the kidneys and amyloidosis.
