Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is increased in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is the principle cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients. Dyslipidaemia is a factor of the progression of CKD that increases the risk in developing atherosclerosis and its complications. Normal healthy individuals without any significant systemic medical illness, individuals with normal biochemical profile and normal USG abdomen were taken for study, however individuals with hypertension, diabetes and significant systemic medical illness were excluded from this. In present study out of 100 patients,40 had LVH on ECG, among which 34 (85%) had abnormal lipid profile, while 6 (15%) had normal lipid profile. In present study, out of 100 patients, 54 had LVH on 2D Echo, among which 44(81.5%) had abnormal lipid profile and 10(18.5%) had normal lipid profile.
