Background: Liver plays a vital role in lipid metabolism. It contributes both in exogenous
and endogenous cycles of lipid metabolism and transport of lipids through plasma. Liver
disease impacts on hepatic synthesis of lipoproteins and lipogenesis but data on dyslipidemia
during disease progression are limited.
Aims & Objectives: To assess the serum Lipid profile in patients diagnosed with chronic
alcoholic liver disease (ALD) in a tertiary care level hospital and to assess the association of
Serum Lipid profile alterations with the severity of alcoholic liver disease.
Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted in the Department of Medicine, Dr
Panjabrao Alias Bhausaheb Deshmukh Memorial Medical College and Research Centre,
Amravati on 73 patients with chronic alcoholic liver disease and >18 years of age of both sex.
Then they were subjected to Clinical data, including demographic information, medical
history, liver function tests, imaging findings. Serum Lipid Profile Levels including
triglycerides, cholesterol, and lipoproteins were measured using standardized laboratory
assays, with values expressed in mg/dL. Disease severity was assessed using established
scoring systems such as Child-Pugh classification.
