Hyperlipidemia in patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis/conservative management

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of chronic renal failure has increased, as has the need for renal replacement therapy, as both diabetes and hypertension have become more prevalent. Patients’ mortality rates from cardiac causes have increased despite effective monitoring and care. Dyslipidemia significantly contributes to the risk of arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease, the main cause of death in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Aims and Objectives: The objectives of this study were to measurement of hyperlipidemia in patients with CKD on hemodialysis/conservative management. Materials and Methods: The investigation was conducted on 250 patients with CKD at all stages who were receiving hemodialysis and conservative of both sexes aged 20 years or more and sex-matched healthy control subjects. Lipid profiles of each subject were measured in specimens. Results: In our study, dyslipidemia was identified as having high levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein and low levels of high-density lipoprotein. Conclusion: The significance of dyslipidemia as a standalone risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) in CKD patients was examined in this study. Hence, based on the evidence presented above, we conclude that close monitoring of the ideal cholesterol levels in CKD patients is necessary to reduce the risk of CAD-related death. In CKD patients, monitoring and treating dyslipidemia can reduce mortality.
