1 STUDY DESIGN AND SUBJECTS: In this retrospective study on 139 out-patients, affected by hyperlipoproteinemia type II, the relationship between fibrinogen plasma levels and some lipid parameters, such as total cholesterol (CT), triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C), lipoprotein (a), apolipoproteins (Apo) A-I and B was evaluated. Triglycerides fibrinogen beta chain Homo sapiens
2 RESULTS: Fibrinogen plasma levels showed a significant inverse correlation with HDL-C (r = -0.25), HDL-C/CT (Rho = -0.22), Apo A-I (r = -0.33) serum concentration and a direct significant correlation with triglycerides serum levels (r = 0.22). Triglycerides fibrinogen beta chain Homo sapiens
3 CONCLUSION: In patients with type II hyperlipoproteinemia, the increase of fibrinogen plasma levels seems to be related to the modification of serum concentration of specific lipoprotein, such as those rich in triglycerides and those with high density. Triglycerides fibrinogen beta chain Homo sapiens
