Studies on Lipid Metabolism in Children with Chronic Renal Insufficiency Part 3

It was pointed out in Series I and I1 that the children with chronic renal insufficiency presented hyperlipemia (chiefly hypertriglyceridemia), and such children, if under long-term hemodialysis, showed decrease in serum lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity. Suspecting that phospholipid metabolism might be altered in these children, we measured phospholipid fractions of serum and erythrocyte membrane as well as the cholesterol level of erythrocyte membrane. No significant difference was found between children under hemodialysis and normal control children in serum total phospholipid. Measurement of the fractions, however, disclosed relative decrease in lysolecithin and relative increase in phosphatidyl ethanolamine, which hinted at the effect of serum LCAT. There is a possibility that the above change might be involved in acceleration of platelet agglutination. The cholesterol level of erythrocyte mem brane in the hemodialysis children did not significantly differ from that in the normal children. This seemed to preclude a possibility that such children might have osmotic fragility due to decrease in the cholesterol level of erythrocyte membrane. The phospholipid level of erythrocyte membrane in the said children was significantly lowered, but the phospholipid fraction showed the same pattern as in the normal children, from which phospholipid was considered to be generally reduced,
