[Plasma levels of free fatty acids, triglycerides and cholesterol in acute subrenal kidney failure].

Abstract

The plasma triglyceride, cholesterol, and free fatty acid levels were determined in patients with acute subrenal kidney failure. Like in chronic uraemia, the levels were higher than normal. The findings were confirmed in animal experiments which showed that the plasma lipid fractions will rise after a single day of bilateral renal occlusion and the rise is proportional to the duration of the occlusion. The lipid levels remain higher than in the controls for some time after relief of the occlusion.
