A Study on Changes of Serum HDL-Cholesterol Level in Some Diseases
Abstract
A study on changes of serum HDL-cholesterol level in various diseased states was performed. Diseased groups were nephrotic syndrome, liver cirrhosis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism and chronic alcoholism. Following results were obtained.
1) Compared to normal control group, levels of HDL-cholesterol in nephrotic syndrome were lower but the difference was significant statistically.
2) In liver cirrhosis, the result showed much lower levels than normal control group with high significance.
3) In both hyper-and hypothyroidism group, the levels of HDL-cholesterol were significantly lower than normal control group.
4) In chronic alcoholism, the levels were significantly higher than normal control group.
5) Except for the group of chronic alcoholism, the levels of HDL- cholesterol were higher in female groups than male groups, but was of no significance statistically.
