Strikingly discrepant values were obtained by two commercial precipitating reagents for serum HDL cholesterol determination in three patients with cholestatic liver diseases (two patients with primary biliary cirrhosis and one patient with chronic hepatitis). An abnormal alpha 2-migrating lipoprotein (slow alpha-lipoprotein) was observed in agarose gel electrophoresis for each serum. The slow alpha-lipoprotein was partly recovered in the supernatant by precipitation with polyethylene glycol, and was completely precipitated with a polyanion-containing reagent, which well explains the discrepancy. The slow alpha-lipoprotein isolated from one of the cases is notable for (1) having an intermediate particle size between normal LDL and normal HDL, (2) containing apo E as the major apolipoprotein, and (3) being enriched with cholesterol (esterified and free) and phospholipid. Cholesterol accumulation was also found in another HDL subclass, alpha 1-migrating HDL. A severe impediment in the clearance of cholesterol-loaded HDL particles from plasma was implied. Electrophoresis of serum lipoproteins and/or the measurement of serum apo E concentrations are necessary to avoid an erroneous estimation of HDL cholesterol in patients with hepatobiliary diseases.
