Plasma LCAT activities were measured in 51 renal allograft recipients as well in 18 patients before and after successful renal transplantation. The mean plasma LCAT activity of the 51 patients did not differ significantly from that of 27 normal subjects. When the patients were separated into two groups according to whether they had normal or impaired renal function, there was no significant difference in their mean LCAT activities. Plasma LCAT activities correlated significantly with total cholesterol and total triglyceride concentrations. The sequential study demonstrates that the low plasma LCAT activities in uraemic patients rose towards normal after successful transplantation. At the same time, total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol concentrations also increased. The increase in LCAT activity after renal transplantation is due to increased concentrations of the enzyme and probably reflects increased turnover of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins.
