This study was conducted to identify the prevalence of disturbance of lipid metabolism, among none diabetic Sudanese patients with end stage renal disease on regular hemodialysis. a total of one hundred patients were studied (males 69% - females 31%) in three hemodialysis centers in Khartoum State, Sudan. (The patients fast overnight for twelve hours, venous blood sample was obtained. The study done on the serum which was analyzed using colorimetric methods) written signed consent was obtained from each patient. The study showed that, 55% had low level of high density lipoprotein (HDL). Eleven percent had high level of low density lipoprotein (LDL). Total cholesterol and triglycerides (TG) disturbance is not so common (8% and 6% respectively). Malnutrition is a considerable problem among patients with ESRD as 26% of patients were under weight. Dyslipidemia is common among patients with ESRD. The main disturbance was being low levels of high density lipoprotein HDL. Therefore, every patient with ESRD on regular hemodialysis should have regular checkup for lipid disturbance and to be included in the regular follow up of dialysis patients.
