Assessing the Prevalence and Pattern of Dyslipidemia Among Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients in Selected Areas of Bangladesh: A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study.

Key takeaways

Heart and artery disease causes 40 to 50 percent of deaths in people with failed kidneys. This study measured blood fats in people on regular dialysis at several centers in Bangladesh, looking for low HDL (the protective cholesterol) and high triglycerides (a blood fat). Everyone was tested once, so it describes how common the problem is in this group. It cannot show that these blood fats cause the heart deaths.
