PS3:59 Is there a difference between lipid profile before and after lupus nephritis treatment in patients with juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus?

Abstract

between proteinuria and LDL levels (r=0.67, p=0.017 and r=0.74, p=0.009 respectively). ConclusionOur study shows that Juvenile SLE patients with LN tend to have more abnormalities of lipid profile than patients without LN, namely with higher TC, LDL and Tg, and lower HDL.A significant positive correlation was found at time 2 between proteinuria and TC and LDL levels, reflecting that the severity of proteinuria correlates with abnormalities in lipid profile.These results reinforce that juvenile SLE population, namely with LN, should have their CV risk factors, such as lipid profile, carefully monitored.
