- Dyslipidemia is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular issues, particularly after renal transplantation, often exacerbated by immunosuppressive therapy; the study aims to analyze cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the first year post-transplant while considering age, sex, and donor type.
- An observational study analyzed the medical records of 328 renal transplant patients from 2013 to 2017, measuring cholesterol and triglyceride levels over 12 months and conducting statistical analyses to identify associations.
- Results showed that while cholesterol levels were normal pre-transplant, triglyceride levels were elevated; both showed a rise post-transplant but returned to pre-transplant levels by month 12, with higher triglyceride levels noted in recipients over 50 years old,
