Current Focuses in Serum Lipid Abnormalities in Dialysis Patients
1Department of Geriatrics and Vascular Medicine, Osaka City University Graduate School of Medicine, Osaka, Japan.
Background:
Dyslipidemia is a common metabolic complication in patients with chronic kidney disease and is detected as changes in lipoprotein concentrations in serum.
Summary:
Recently, other features of lipid abnormalities have been described, such as alterations in serum n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, cholesterol metabolism (proportion of hepatic synthesis and intestinal absorption), and dysfunctional high-density lipoprotein.
Key Messages:
Since abnormalities of these new aspects predict adverse outcomes in hemodialysis populations, they may be helpful in risk stratification of patients and could also be new targets for prevention.

Serum lipids are fats and fatty substances in the blood and are crucial for various bodily functions, including energy storage, cellular structure, and hormone production. Serum lipids consist of cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids.
Cholesterol is a soft, fat-like substance found in all body cells. It is crucial for producing hormones, vitamin D, and substances that aid...
