Correlation of fasting lipid profile in non-diabetic CKD patients on conservative management

Abstract

Background- Chronic kidney disease is emerging as a major chronic disease worldwide. There is surge in incidence of CKD in developing countries that is likely to pose a major problem in both health and economic sector. Ultimately, ESRD occurs due to progressive and unrelenting loss of nephron function. Aim- This study aims to investigate the potential correlation between fasting lipid profile and carotid intimal thickness in non-diabetic CKD patients who are undergoing conservative management. Discussion- CKD comprises of a spectrum of disease processes which results in metabolic, excretory, and synthetic failure culminating into the buildup of non-protein nitrogenous compounds and presents with numerous clinical features. Conclusion- The findings of this study indicate a significant correlation between fasting lipid profile in CKD patients who are non-diabetic and undergoing conservative management.
