Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) exhibits dyslipidemia which is well known traditional risk factors for vascular complications. Therefore this present study was undertaken to know whether hemodialysis has an effect on the lipid profile of the CRF patients. Study were divided into three groups, Group-I: healthy controls (25), Group-II:CRF patients who never undergone hemodialysis (25) and Group-III: CRF patients on hemodialysis (20). Serum samples from patients were obtained and analyzed for lipid profile. Serum triglyceride and VLDL levels were significantly higher in group-II and III as compared to controls. HDL levels were significantly lower in group-II and III as compared to control. There was no significant change observed in total cholesterol and LDL levels between all groups. In conclusion, the patients of CRF with and without hemodialysis exhibited dyslipidemia Pattern irrespective of hemodialysis process.
