Dyslipidemia in CKD: Beyond Glucose Absorption in Peritoneal Dialysis, suggests study
Researchers have found in a new study that glucose absorption from peritoneal dialysis may not independently drive dyslipidemia development. Instead, dyslipidemia in chronic kidney disease is linked to multiple factors, particularly alterations in the peritoneal membrane. Further studies are required to clarify the underlying mechanisms. The study was published in BMC Nephrology by Gokhan A. and fellow researchers.
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease continues to be the most common causes of morbidity and mortality among patients on peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis for end-stage renal disease. Dyslipidemia is the key player in this process, and preventing it is a top strategy for minimizing cardiovascular risk.
The current study sought to assess dyslipidemia among peritoneal dialysis patients and investigate if glucose uptake from dialysis solutions was directly proportional to lipid profile changes. There were 73 patients seen in the nephrology outpatient clinic who were included in the study. Lipid profile results, the nature of the dialysis solution employed, and the nature of the solutions were examined through the patients' records. Statistical calculations were then conducted to determine correlations between glucose uptake and lipid parameters.
