Abstract
CKD leads to a variety of biochemical abnormalities. Important among them are disturbances in water and electrolyte balance. It also causes disturbances in calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, fluoride and sulphate levels. Lipid abnormalities are seen in renal failure. It is an observational cross‐sectional study of alterations in lipid profiles in patients with kidney disease of duration more than 6 months. An estimation of total cholesterol, triglycerides, serum HDL, cholesterol and VLDL cholesterol was done by enzymatic method by using an autoanalyser in District Hospital Hi‐Tech Laboratory. Overall, lipid profile parameters were better in the cases on conservative management as compared to those on dialysis. There was significant difference in Triglycerides, HDL and VLDL among the two groups, while there was no statistically significant difference in Total cholesterol and LDL. The HDL/Total Cholesterol ratio also was significantly lower in the cases on conservative management as compared to those on dialysis. (p = 0.023)
