  1. Results are presented as median, minimum and maximum. Significant differences between patients with no sign(s) and those with one or combination of two or three sign(s) implying volume overload were calculated with Mann-Whitney U-test and are depicted in bold. HDL-high density lipoprotein; LDL-low-density lipoprotein; EL-endothelial lipase; LVLDL-p –large very low-density lipoprotein particles; TLDL-p –total LDL particles; LLDL-p –large LDL particles; SLDL-p –small LDL-p; THDL-p –total HDL-particles; LHDL-p –large HDL-p; SHDL-p –small HDL-p; VLDL-s –VLDL size; LDL-s –LDL size; HDL-s –HDL size.
