Treatment of Hyperlipidemia in the Nephrotic Syndrome

Abstract

The nephrotic syndrome is defined by urinary protein excretion of more than 3.5 g/day (1) and is generally accompanied by hypoalbuminemia and increased blood lipid levels (2). Both plasma cholesterol and triglyceride concentration are usually inversely related to plasma cholesterol concentration (3) or to a marker of glomerular permselectivity, the renal clearance of albumin (4). Cholesterol generally bears a negative first-order correlation with serum albumin concentration, while triglyceride levels increase asymptotically as plasma albumin concentration declines (3,4).
