The relationship between blood-lipid levels and severity of proteinuria was examined retrospectively in 30 patients (12 males, 18 females; mean age 39 [18-58] years). All patients had histologically confirmed glomerulonephritis (minimal change: n = 7, perimembranous: n = 8, focal sclerosing: n = 6, rapid progressive: n = 3, mesangio-proliferative: n = 4, membrano-proliferative: n = 1, diabetic glomerulosclerosis: n = 1). None was taking lipid-lowering drugs. Patients were classified according to the degree of proteinuria. In group 1 (proteinuria less than 5 g/d, n = 13) the LDL-HDL ratio averaged 4.4; in group 2 (proteinuria 5.0-10.0 g/d, n = 10) the average ratio was 8.8, and in group 3 (proteinuria greater than 10.0 g/d, n = 7) 13.3. Total cholesterol concentration also rose with increasing proteinuria (to 300 +/- 87 mg/dl, 375 +/- 168 mg/dl and 464 +/- 143 mg/d, respectively). The size of the LDL-HDL ratio and the level of total cholesterol did not correlate with the degree of excretory renal failure. These results point to an impressive correlation between the degree of proteinuria and the level of LDL-HDL ratio as a measure of atherogenic risk for a given patient.
