Endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular risk in lupus nephritis: New roles for old players?

abstract：:Deficient leucocyte sphingomyelinase activity has been demonstrated in a patient with the sea-blue histiocyte syndrome. Family studies revealed that two other cases previously diagnosed on clinical and histochemical criteria also had a pronounced diminution of sphingomyelinase activity. Both parents of the affected in...
