Nineteen (11.1%) patients had hyperlipidemia (serum values of two or more parameters above normal) while 152 (88.9%) patients had normal lipid profile.

93.36☒5.56 mg/dl p-value 0.001) decreased significantly with increasing severity of disease. Mean serum values among Child-Pugh A, Child-Pugh B, and Child-Pugh C of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) (113.15☑4.08 vs. The mean body mass index (BMI) of these patients was 25.9☒.4 kg/m 2. Forty-four (25.7%) patients were hypertensive while 62 (36.3%) were diabetic. The disease was classified as Child-Pugh A in 20 (11.7%) patients, Child-Pugh B in 67 (39.2%) patients, and Child-Pugh C in 84 (49.1%) patients. The male to female ratio came out to be 1.5:1, with 103 (60.2%) male and 68 (39.8%) female patients included in the study. The mean age of patients was 51.2☗.3 years. Armonk, NY) was used to analyze data statistically, taking a p-value of ≤0.05 as significant. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0 (IBM Corp. Each patient was required to provide written informed consent. Individual serum lipid parameters were graded as normal, high, or very high. Lipid profile was acquired in all these patients and was compared across various subgroups. The objective of this study was to determine the pattern of dyslipidemia in chronic liver disease patients.Ī cross-sectional study was conducted involving 171 patients of all genders aged between 18 years and 60 years presenting with chronic liver disease with disease severity graded on Child-Pugh class as A, B, and C.

Few recent studies show how lipid profile varies with the severity of disease and should be considered in the management planning of such patients. Lipid profile monitoring is not a part of the routine management of these patients in our hospital.

Patients with chronic liver disease are expected to report derangements in serum lipid profiles.
