OBJECTIVE: To determine if a program of dietary modification and fish oil supplementation is effective in treating the @entity2299 in pediatric @entity1252 ( @entity1252 ). METHODS: Prospective clinical trial where each @entity1 serves as his/her own control. Twenty-four consecutive adolescents fulfilling @entity1252 classification criteria were screened with fasting lipid profiles. @entity1 were identified as having @entity2299 of @entity66 or of corticosteroid therapy. @entity1 were treated for 6 weeks with dietary modification and if @entity2299 did not normalize with another 6 weeks of dietary modification and fish oil supplementation. RESULTS: Seventeen @entity1 (71%) had @entity2299 ; 10 of @entity66 , 4 of @entity134 therapy; 3 with a combined pattern. Eleven @entity1 underwent dietary modification. There was a significant decrease in serum @entity412 concentrations (p < 0.05). Total @entity165 , low density lipoprotein @entity165 , and high density lipoprotein @entity165 did not change significantly. A further significant decline in serum @entity1674 was achieved with fish oil supplementation (p < 0.05). Five of the 11 @entity1 who underwent treatment continued to have @entity2299 . CONCLUSION: @entity2299 is common in pediatric @entity1252 . Dietary modification and fish oil supplementation appear to be effective in improving serum lipid profiles, and blinded studies are warranted. a significant number of @entity1 may require pharmacologic therapy for persistent @entity2299 to prevent complications of @entity731 .
