In long standing tuberculosis, however, the blood cholesterol is not constant as in acute infections because the chronicity of the process entails complications which alter the level of the cholesterol in the blood. Variations in the blood cholesterol in phthisis are dependent on the severity of the tuberculous lesion, the body nutrition, and complications such as anemia and, as we expect to demonstrate, renal amyloidosis....Bibliography1.
