Abstract

Patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) frequently experience dyslipidemia. Dyslipidemia is linked to cardiovascular mortality in people with CRF. This study compared the body mass index (BMI) of matched healthy control subjects with that of CRF patients to uncover lipid abnormalities and their significance. Materials and Methods: Three fasting lipid profiles were calculated in this study using data from 280CRF patients. As controls, a healthy population of identical age, sex, and BMI was utilized. The data was documented into a master sheet and statistical analysis was carried out. Results: Patients with CRF experience dyslipidemia. Despite the fact that the total cholesterol was higher in CRF patients than in controls, the difference was statistically insignificant. In instances with CRF, triglycerides increased statistically significantly. LDL-C levels were higher in CRF instances, but statistically speaking, the difference was not statistically significant. On the other hand, as compared to controls, the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) exhibited a statistically significant decline. Conclusion: In CRF, lipid abnormalities are frequent. There are no statistically significant changes in total cholesterol. When compared to normal, triglycerides statistically significantly rise in CRF instances.Patients with CRF exhibit a statistically significant decline in HDL-C compared to controls.
