A Study on Dyslipidemia and the Atherogenic Index of Plasma in Chronic Kidney Disease
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to study and analyse the atherogenicity of plasma in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease. This study was conducted on 85 patients of CKD admitted in Kanyakumari Government Medical College of age more than 18 years with renal function tests and ultrasound findings suggestive of CKD. The mean atherogenic index among CKD patients is .75 in our study. There is a significant change in the mean value of total cholestrol, TGL, and VLDL cholestrol among patients in various stages of CKD. A significant negative correlation was observed between eGFR and mean Atherogenic Index of Plasma.
