Background: Diabetes mellitus, is a metabolic disease with an alarming prevalence worldwide. When uncontrolled, this can result in diseases such as chronic renal failure by various atherogenic factors including lipoprotein(a). Aim was to estimate the level of lipoprotein(a) in diabetic chronic renal failure patients and to correlate with healthy controls.Methods: 30 non-diabetic subjects and 30 diabetic CRF patients were included in the study. Lipoprotein(a) was estimated by immunoturbidimetric method and the other parameters by their respective methods in biochemistry auto-analyzer.Results: It was found from the study that there is a positive correlation of lipoprotein(a) levels with the duration of diabetes and was progressive with the diabetic complications.Conclusions: Lipoprotein(a) is responsible for atherogenic events in CRF patients.

Lipoprotein(a) in Chronic Renal Failure Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality in patients with chronic renal failure. Among the parameters contributing to cardiovascular disease development is the elevated serum concentration of lipoprotein(a) diagnosed in these patients, especially in the terminal stage of CRF. However, an elevated concentration of lipoprotein(a) could influence the renal failure progression. The objective of this study is to examine the lipoprotein(a) serum levels in chronic renal failure, and to establish the relation between the stage of renal function preservation and the level of this lipoprotein. In this study 127 subjects were included, divided into three groups. The first group contained 42 subjects (15 females and 27 males) in different CRF stages, the second group contained 32 subjects (7 females and 25 males) on a chronic hemodialysis program, and the control group contained 53 subjects (22 females and 31 males) with regular renal function. The results obtained point to significantly higher frequency of hyper-Lp(a) lipoproteinaemia in dialysed patients compared to the control group, as well as significantly higher Lp(a) values in both groups of patients compared to the control group. It can be concluded that for the risk assessment of premature atherosclerotic changes, but also renal failure progression in patients with CRF, determination of the Lp(a) serum concentration is recommendable.
