Proteome of HDL from non-diabetic hemodialysis patients

Chronic kidney disease is associated with an increased cardiovascular morbidity/mortality and the altered biological properties of HDL particles have been pointed out in this burden. We aimed to describe the proteome of HDL from non-diabetic hemodialysis patients and proteins which were up and down represented in HDL particles of HD patients compared to heathy controls. HDL were sampled from the plasma of 9 non-diabetic HD and 9 potential kidney-donors patients with a sequential potassium bromide stepwise density gradient ultracentrifugation. Samples were analyzed using an nano-RSLC coupled on line with a Q-Orbitrap.
