Abstract

DYSLIPIDAEMIA AMONG PATIENTS WITH END STAGE RENAL DISEASE IN MAKURDI, NORTH CENTRAL, NIGERIA

Dr. Monday O. Ogiator*, Joseph E. Ojobi and Ochoche O. Ijachi

ABSTRACT

Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a common public health problem with increasing prevalence and incidence. Dyslipidaemia is a commonly associated comorbidity in patients with CKD including end stage renal disease (ESRD). It has been shown to increase the risk of cardiovascular events which is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients. In this study we aimed to determine the prevalence of dyslipidaemia among patients with ESRD seen at Benue State University Teaching Hospital, Makurdi. Methodology: This was a retrospective study which analysed data from patients with end stage renal disease managed at Benue State University Teaching Hospital, Makurdi from October, 1st 2012 to 31st December, 2015. Results: Out of the 118 patients studied, 59.3% were males while 40.7% were females. The mean age of the population was 45.9 ± 16.4. Seventy seven patients (65.3%) of the patients had dyslipidaemia. Conclusion: Over half of the Patients with ESRD had dyslipidaemia. Regular measurement of fasting serum lipids is essential in CKD to detect and treat abnormalities early as well as monitor progress of treatment.
