Abstract

This study was performed to investigate lipid metabolism in 10 patients on hemodialysis therapy for renal failure and receiving an iodine-enriched egg daily as a supplement to diet for 9 months. The patients, who were all males and aged 26 to 59 years, included eight with chronic glomerular nephritis and two with IgA nephropathy. They were examined by periodic measurements of serum total cholesterol and triglyceride (TG) levels at 3-month intervals. The mean serum total cholesterol level for the entire group was 190mg/dl at the outset and decreased to a level of 160mg/dl at 9 months. The mean serum TG level for the 10 patients fell to 209mg/dl from the initial value of 300mg/dl in 3 months of egg intake and remained at an approximate level of 200mg/dl thereafter till 9 months. For seven patients with the initial serum TG value of 200mg/dl or more (mean: 392mg/dl), the mean serum TG level decreased to 259mg/dl in 3 months and to 238mg/dl in 9 months.
