Study on Serum Total Cholesterol in Patient with Chronic Kidney Disease

In the present study serum total cholesterol were estimated in chronic kidney diseased patient to observe the frequency of high serum total cholesterol in chronic kidney diseased patient (CKD) and to assess the incidence of hyper-cholesterolemia. This cross-sectional study was carried out in the department of Physiology of Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh from July 2014 to June 2015. For this purpose, total 200 subjects with age ranged from 25 to 60 years were selected and divided into 100 healthy persons as control group and 100 CKD patients as study group. Serum total cholesterol (TC) was evaluated by the Enzymatic, Liquid, Colorimetric test - CHOD/PAP method. Statistical analysis of data was done by unpaired student's t test. The results showed that serum total cholesterol the Mean±SE of control group male and study group male were 164±3.20mg/dl and 220±5.96mg/dl respectively. In study group male, mean±SE serum TC was increased. Result was statistically highly significant (p<0.0001). The Mean±SE serum TC of control group female and study group female were 158±3.13mg/dl and 213±5.49mg/dl respectively. In study group female, Mean±SE serum TC was increased & result was highly significant (p<0.0001). The mean serum total cholesterol level was increased in study group than in control group. The results were statistically significant. From this study, it may be concluded that the increasing frequency of Serum total cholesterol level in CKD may predispose the patients to hypercholesterolemia accelerates development of atherosclerosis, increases risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and the other complications.
