Abstract
A study was carried out on 30 patients (17 male and 13 female) with chronic renal failure. Blood samples have been taken before and after hemodialysis to measure lipid profile and free fatty acids. The results obtained have been compared with 30 (18male and 12 female) healthy subjects (control group). The results showed that there were significant increase in the level of TG, VLDL-C before and after hemodialysis , while there was non significant difference in the level of TC, LDL-C in pre-dialysis patients as compared to control group. The results also revealed a significant relation in the level of TC, in those patients after hemodialysis comparison with control group. This study also show a significant decrease in the level of HDL-C in pre dialysis patients as compared to control group and non significant changes in the levels of LDL-C and HDL-C in post-dialysis patients compared with control group. The level of FFA in patients before and after hemodialysis was significant increase as compared with control group. There is a significant positive correlation between serum FFA levels and TG, LDL-C, VLDL-C, whereas no significant positive correlation with TC and significant negative correlation with HDL-C levels in pre-dialysis patients. There is a significant positive correlation between serum FFA levels and TC, LDL-C, where as no significant correlation with HDL-C, TG, and VLDL-C in post- dialysis patients.
