Serum Lipid Profile in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients on Haemodialysis

Abstract :

The burden of chronic kidney disease is increasing rapidly worldwide and has become a major health issue. Studies have shown that more than 50% of deaths in CKD patients are attributable to cardiovascular events. Lipid disorders (Dyslipidemia) are recognized risk factors for CVD and progression of renal diseases of varied aetiologies. There is paucity of information on the prevalence and pattern of lipids in CKD patients in our environment. It is for these reasons the present study has been undertaken to study the lipid profile in dialysis patients with an objective to adopt appropriate measures to decrease CVD mortality in this population. The study involved 50 CKD patients and 50 controls. A venous blood sample was obtained from each patient and control after an overnight fast for estimation of lipid profile and other blood parameters. The mean values of total cholesterol (211.4 ± 42.7 mg/dL) and triglyceride (151.08 ± 41.5 mg/dL) were found to be higher in the patients when compared to controls (162.9 ± 13.5 mg/dL and 110.1 ± 22.3 mg/dL) respectively. HDL and LDL Cholesterol were also found to be altered in dialysis patients. Most frequent lipid alterations were hypercholesterolemia (42%), hypertriglyceridemia (34%). The present study underscore the need for early assessment of these patients for lipid abnormalities as prompt treatment may prevent cardiovascular events and retard the progression of kidney disease.
