The results we obtained indicate the existence of certain abberations in lipid metabolism in vitiligo. This may suggest the existence of certain disorders in liver cells where a part of lipid metabolism takes place. There are reports on the disorders of liver activity in the course of vitiligo. However, these disorders did not influence the size of liver in vitiligo patients examined by means of ultrasonography as we showed in another paper. Other authors did not state any abnormalities in other parameters of lipid metabolism in vitiligo patients in comparison with controls. Our results require further research on other lipids in vitiligo patients.
