Influence of Kidney Diseases on Lipid Profile in Patients Undergoing Conservative Managements and Hemodialysis

Kidney function gradually declines as a result of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The current study was conducted at Princess Iman Hospital in Muadi, Jordan from December to March 2024. It aimed to investigate the association between lipids and chronic renal failure (CRF), which refers to the advanced stages of CKD where kidney function has declined significantly, and to understand how dyslipidemia affects the development of CKD and general health outcomes. The study involved three groups of participants: patients with CRF who were on hemodialysis, those receiving conservative management for CRF, and healthy individuals as controls. According to the findings, CRF patients (hemodialysis and conservative management) had significantly higher lipid levels than the control group besides showing low indicators for kidney function (p<0.001). In addition, triglyceride, cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels, Cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio, and LDL/HDL ratio were also found to be significantly high in the hemodialysis group when compared to the conservative group (p<0.001). In this population with CRFs, it was observed that lipid levels correlated positively with markers for kidney disease progression. Therefore, monitoring of lipids should be done regularly across all stages of CKDs to reduce cardiovascular complications associated with atherosclerosis. Hence, incorporating lipid evaluations into standard CKD care regimens, even during the initial phases, is vital for enhancing patient outcomes and lowering mortality risks. In essence, the results highlight the importance of proactive management of lipid levels in CKD individuals to tackle cardiovascular complications effectively. By understanding dyslipidemia's impact on CKD advancement, healthcare practitioners can customize interventions to enhance patient care and diminish related risks, ultimately improving prognosis and decreasing mortality rates among CKD cohorts.
