Comparative Study Of Lipid Profile In Patients Of Non-Diabetic Chronic Kidney Disease In Relation To Its Severity

ABSTRACT

Objective: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a silent epidemic of the 21st century. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with CKD. This study aims to evaluate the type of dyslipidemia in CKD patients and correlates with the severity of renal dysfunction in CKD patients. Methods: The observational study was conducted in the Department of General Medicine, PRM MCH, Baripada between May 2018 and January 2019. 262 patients of CKD above 15 y of age, satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study. Results: Out of 262 patients, 64.50% (169) were male and 35.50% (93) were females with M F of 1.81. The age range was from 20 to 95. The average age of the patients in the study was 56.66+12.22 y. 45.04 % (118) of the patients were between 46 and 60 y of age. 68.70% of the patients had dyslipidemia. The comparison between lipid profiles of cases and controls showed a significant increase in total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL and decrease in HDL. Conclusion: The prevalence of dyslipidemia in non-diabetic CKD is high. A high degree of abnormality is found in HDL with disease progression, which is statistically significant. Therefore, maintenance of desired lipid levels either through diet or early initiation of lipid-lowering drugs can be helpful in decreasing the risk of cardiovascular complications in CKD patients.
