Use of the Friedewald formula to estimate LDL-cholesterol in patients with chronic renal failure on dialysis.
Increased plasma cholesterol, particularly that portion associated with LDL, is an established risk factor for coronary heart disease [1, 2]. As a consequence, it is widely recommended [3] that LDL-cholesterol be determined in individuals with increased total cholesterol. Because isolation of the LDL fraction requires ultracentrifugation, a technique not generally available in service laborator...
متن کاملComparison of LDL-cholesterol direct measurement with the estimate using the Friedewald formula in a sample of 10,664 patients.
OBJECTIVE To compare direct measurement of LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) determined by a homogeneous method with LDL-cholesterol estimation determined by the Friedewald formula in a large heterogeneous population. METHODS The measurements of total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) were performed using traditional enzymatic methods. The measurements of HDL-C and LDL-C were performed using dire...

متن کاملThe effect of borage tea on urine and blood biochemistry on non-dialysis chronic renal failure patients
Background: There is no curative treatment for chronic renal failure (CRF). Important strategies for the control and prevention of the advancement of CRF are increased renal function and decreased blood pressure (BP) and weight. Borage has many benefits, such as increased frequency of urination, decreased BP, and increased renal function. This clinical trial study was designed to determine the ...
