Cardiovacular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of mortality and morbidity in Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD). Risk factors such as hypoalbuminemia and dyslipidemia causes premature development of CVD. This study was undertaken to measure serum albumin and lipid profile in CKD patients and healthy controls. It was found that hypoalbuminemia and decreased HDL levels were seen in CKD patients. Hence identifying them in early stage and managing it might help in reducing the CVD risk in CKD patients. Summary: Hypoalbuminemia indicates the inflammation in CKD patients. Decreased HDL levels in CKD might contribute in increasing the risk of cardiovascular complications. Hence identifying these abnormalities early in the disease process may help the clinician to effectively manage the developments of cardiovascular complications in CKD patients at an earlier stage.
