Abstract

A common nephrotic syndrome finding is the presence of hyperlipidemia. Total cholesterol, LDL, VLDL, and low or normal HDL levels have all increased. Typically, hyperlipidemia is seen when the disease is active and goes away when the proteinuria goes away. However, it may recur and raise the risk of developing atherosclerosis in later life in recurrent cases. We in the current study tried to correlate the severity of nephrotic syndrome and dyslipidemia in pediatric cases presenting to our hospital.
