Background and Aim: Premature atherosclerosis and increased prevalence of cardiovascular mortality are significantly associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The CKD risk factors contribute to cardiovascular and atherogenesis disease. Anemia, inflammation, vascular calcification, lack of physical activity, lipid disorders, endothelial dysfunction, and oxidative stress are various risk-induced factors for CKD patients. The aim of the present study was to evaluate or assess the lipid profile in chronic kidneys disease. Place and Duration of Study: Conducted at Medicine department of Lady Reading hospital, Peshawar and Pak International Medical College, Peshawar for duration of six months between November 2020 and April 2021. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 70 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with an age range of 18 and 65 years. The male to female ratio was 1.3:1. A Control group of 70 patients of similar age and sex were enrolled in this study. Lipid profile and collection of blood specimen were managed from both groups were taken. Other parameters such as PPBS, creatinine, FBS, and blood urea results were compared for both groups. Results: The overall mean age of the study group patients was 42.4±11.5 years while the control group's mean age was 51.6±9.8 years. The prevalence of CKD patients was high 17 (24%) in the age range of 30-40 years. The prevalence of Dyslipidemia parameters such as High TC, High TG, High VLDL-C, HIGH LDL-C and low HDL-C was 49.8%, 66.7%, 67%, 42.5%, and 72.9% respectively. Overall dyslipidemia prevalence was 81.7%. Significant decrease in HDL-C while the increase in TG and VLDL-C was reported. On comparing hypertension comorbid conditions with triglyceride, HDL, and VLDL statistical significance was found. SPSS version 24 was used for data analysis. Conclusion: A significant amount of dyslipidemia is found in CKD patients. As a result, treating dyslipidemia will reduce mortality in CKD patients. Patients with CKD are predisposed to accelerated atherosclerosis, which increases the risk of CVD. The presence of an atherogenic lipid profile in CKD is confirmed by this study.
