Chronic renal insufficiency is accompanied by specific alterations of the lipoprotein metabolism. It has been suggested that the renal dyslipoproteinaemia of renal insufficiency contributes to the progression of glomerular and tubular lesions, with subsequent deterioration of renal function. The objective of this prospective study was to investigate whether the specific lipoprotein abnormalities of renal insufficiency are associated with the rate of decline of renal function in patients with moderately advanced chronic renal failure.
