Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) exhibits dyslipidemia which is well known traditional risk factors for vascular complications. So, this present study was planned to evaluate whether hemodialysis has an effect on the lipid profile of the CRF patients. Materials & Methods: Present study were divided into three groups, Group-I: healthy controls (21), Group-II: CRF patients who never undergone hemodialysis (13) and Group-III: CRF patients on hemodialysis (18). Serum samples from patients and healthy subjects were obtained and analyzed for lipid profile. Results: Serum triglyceride and VLDL levels were significantly higher in group-II and III when compared to controls. HDL levels were significantly lower in group-II and III as compared to control. There was significant change noted in total cholesterol and LDL levels between controls and CRF patients. Conclusion: Our analysis suggest that CRF patients with and without hemodialysis exhibited dyslipidemia pattern irrespective of hemodialysis process.
