Article Synopsis
- Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease significantly affects dialysis patients, who experience lower lipid levels and higher vascular complications, a phenomenon known as reverse epidemiology.
- In a multicentric study, researchers analyzed lipid profiles in dialysis patients, noting significant changes in lipid levels pre- and post-dialysis and examining the impact of various factors including statin use and dialysis protocols.
- The study concludes that low lipid levels are primarily due to dilutional hypolipidemia and suggests using corrected lipid measurements for better risk assessment and treatment planning in this patient population.
