The prevalence of end stage renal disease was found to be more common in the developing countries. The
risk factors such as obesity, smoking, hypertension, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus favours the progress of
renal failure among the old age population. Cardiovascular contribution to the renal failure increases as
the lipid levels increases in the circulation. Many of the past studies have explained the factors which
correlates the cardiovascular causes behind the progression of renal failure. Our study was taken up to
evaluate the dyslipidemia in patients who are on end stage renal disease, undergoing regular dialysis.
Materials and Methods – Totally 100 patients who are on regular dialysis were recruited for the study.
Off 100 patients 50 were males Group M, 50 are females Group F. Blood samples were collected and
analyzed for TG, TC, HDL, LDL, and VLDL. Results were analyzed to compare the lipid profile among
males and females to rule out the high risk of cardiovascular related complication among the end stage
renal failure population who are on regular dialysis.
Results – Our study showed a significant increase in TG, TC, LDL, and VLDL in females Group F when
compared to males Group M. HDL was very low in females when compared to males which are statically
significant.
Conclusion – From our study we summaries that the serum lipid profile level was found to be more in
females Group F when compared to males Group M. It states that females in end stage renal disease are
in high risk of occurrence of both vessel wall diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. Apart from renal
marker, cardiovascular markers also play a role in worsening the progress of renal failure.
