The College of Medicine, Al-Qadisiyah University discussed a Ph.D. thesis on the prevalence of dyslipidemia among patients with end-stage renal disease by the postgraduate student, Mr. Hussein Qaid Jabr.
The thesis aimed at determining the prevalence and characterizing the pattern of dyslipidemia in patients with end-stage renal disease.
The thesis highlighted that dyslipidemia was highly common among end-stage renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis, as well as the study was characterized by a specific pattern of low HDL cholesterol and high triglycerides, while total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol remained relatively within normal limits.
The thesis emphasized the necessity of including periodic lipid testing in the routine clinical care of dialysis patients to improve the assessment of cardiovascular risk and reduce future complications.
