[Lipid peroxidation in patients with hypertension and chronic pyelonephritis with arterial hypertension].

++Non-ezymatic lipid peroxidation (LP) and total lipids (TL) in serum and erythrocytic membranes were studied in 42 hypertensive subjects and 35 chronic sufferers with pyelonephritis accompanied by arterial hypertension. The measurements performed at different phases of the clinical course provided evidence in favour of possible application of LP and TL tests in differentiating essential hypertension from chronic pyelonephritis with arterial hypertension.
