Figure 1.

Routine lipid parameters in patients undergoing HELP, MDF, or DA apheresis. (A) shows concentrations of total cholesterol, (B) concentrations of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, (C) concentrations of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and (D) concentrations of triglycerides in the serum. Differences within one treatment group between pre- and post-lipoprotein apheresis were significant where indicated (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001). Analysis was performed by two-tailed paired Student’s t-test.
