Also, when correlating the individual parametersof MetS with parameters significant for LN activity, wenotice that dyslipidemia (elevated triglycerides anddecreased HDL-cholesterol level) significantly correlates with many parameters for disease activity.Triglycerides are statistically significantly correlatedwith anti-ds-DNA Ab and urinary parameters: erythrocyturia,proteinuria, SLEDAI/r index, and HDL-cholesterolcorrelated with albumin, C3, and anti-ds-DNA Ab. The gene discussed is C3; the disease is metabolic syndrome.
