Lipid Profile in Diabetic and Non Diabetic CKD Patients

Study of Lipid Profile in Diabetic and Non Diabetic Chronic Kidney Disease Patients in Sohag University Hospital

The goal of this observational study is to compare blood lipid (fat) levels in participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with diabetes and without diabetes and who over 20 years old.

The main question this study aims to answer is:

Does having diabetes make fat problems worse in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), or is there no connection between them?

Researchers will compare the blood lipid (fat) levels in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who have diabetes and those without diabetes to see if having diabetes makes lipid problems worse in CKD patients, or if there is no connection between diabetes and changes in lipid levels.

Participants will need to fast for 10 hours before undergoing this test. This means not eating any food or drinking anything except water.

Samples will be taken and sent to laboratory immediately.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients of chronic kidney disease (CKD) presenting to the Sohag University Hospital
• Patients aged above 20 years of age.
• All patients who have given consent for enrolling into the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients aged 20 years of age or below.
• Patients on lipid-lowering drugs.
• Kidney transplanted patients.
