Background and Objective: Chronic kidney disease is diagnosed by US national kidney foundation disease quality outcomes initiative classification (K/DOQI) as GFR less than 90ml/min/ 1.73m2 for more than 3 months. These patients have found to have varied lipid profiles depending on the co-morbid conditions and also the treatment given. The lipid profiles of these patients in the western and the Indian subcontinent have widely varied in different studies. This study was undertaken to note the lipid profile in CKD patients in our hospital. Method: This study is a cross sectional descriptive study which has been done over a period of one year in sixty patients with CKD. The lipid profile was done on these patients. Results: The fasting lipid profile was collected in sixty patients with CKD and the values were analysed using students t test. It was found that the mean values of only triglycerides will elevated however the p value showed no statistically significant correlation. No correlation was found with the co morbid conditions and the lipid profile. Conclusion: this study has found that the mean values of the lipid profile in sixty CKD patients only the triglycerides were elevated. However, the statistical analysis showed that it was not significant. This study however did not include a detailed dietary and caloric history. Also the study group was heterogeneous .It would hence be beneficial to undertake the study after eliminating the limitation and also including a larger group.
