[Deviations in the level of serum lipids and higher fatty acids in liver cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis]. 1977

K Koĭchev, and G Vurbanov

Serum lipids and higher fatty acids were investigated in 141 patients with portal liver cirrhosis, 51 patients with chronic hepatitis and 40 clinically healthy subjects--controls. Lower contents of cholesterin in blood was found in the patients with liver cirrhosis as compared with the healthy as well as of total lipids, phospholipids, beta-LP, palmitic, palmitoleic, oleic linoleic and linolenic acids and considerably higher contents, of NEFA endogene heparin, LPL and blood sugar. The deviations described are more manifested in decompensated liver cirrhosis. In the patients with chronic hepatitis, as compared with the controls higher contents of cholesterin, total lipids, phospholipids, triglyceride, beta-LP, NEFA, LPL, endogene heparin, stearinic, palmitic, palmitoleic and oleic acids and blood sugar were found. In the patients with liver cirrhosis, as compared with the patients with chronic hepatitis, a lower contents of cholesterin was found as well as of total lipids, phospholipids, triglycerides, beta-LP, palmitic, palmitoleic and oleic acids and a higher contents of and blood sugar. The described deviations in the contents of serum lipid indices are with a definite regular character and can be used in the diagnosis of liver diseases.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Lipid
D008074 Lipoproteins Lipid-protein complexes involved in the transportation and metabolism of lipids in the body. They are spherical particles consisting of a hydrophobic core of TRIGLYCERIDES and CHOLESTEROL ESTERS surrounded by a layer of hydrophilic free CHOLESTEROL; PHOSPHOLIPIDS; and APOLIPOPROTEINS. Lipoproteins are classified by their varying buoyant density and sizes. Circulating Lipoproteins,Lipoprotein,Lipoproteins, Circulating
D008103 Liver Cirrhosis Liver disease in which the normal microcirculation, the gross vascular anatomy, and the hepatic architecture have been variably destroyed and altered with fibrous septa surrounding regenerated or regenerating parenchymal nodules.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D002784 Cholesterol The principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils. Epicholesterol
D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).
