A Study of Lipid Profile in Chronic Renal Disease with Special Reference to LP(a)

Chronic renal disease combined with abnormal lipid profile causes cardiovascular disease on other side Lipoprotein(a) is risk factor for atherosclerosis. The study includes 50 control group and 50 are cases in both the groups blood urea, Serum creatinine, serum triglyceride, serum total cholesterol, High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) were analyzed, while Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) was calculated by using Frieldwald formula . Lp (a) is estimated by using Latex DAIICHI kit method. The serum levels of Triacylglycerols, Total Cholesterol and LDL Cholesterol were raised as compared to corresponding values in Control group. The serum level of HDL cholesterol in the present study was significantly as compared to Control group. Therefore as observed in the present study there is dyslipidemia associated with chronic renal failure. This dyslipidemia needs prompt attention and measures for rectification to prevent or delay atherosclerotic complications of chronic renal failure.
