“…This pattern of dyslipidaemia is similar to reports from previous studies from other parts of Nigeria. 6,7 There was no significant difference between mean serum TC in both groups which is also similar to the reports by Agaba et al 25 The overall prevalence of dyslipidaemia in the CKD patients in this study was 60% and was commoner in those who were 45 years and above. Earlier studies on lipid profile of adult Nigerian CKD patients assessed prevalence of individual lipid abnormality, but not overall prevalence of dyslipidaemia in the studied population.…”
