Causes of chronic renal failure include diabetes mellitus, glomerulonephritis, hypertension, of - polycystic stiff kidney disease and tubulointerstitial diseases. It holds true for Pakistan. Among many derangements that occur in chronic renal failure, disturbances in serum lipids are an important one. Interestingly lipids also contribute towards progression of renal failure. To find out the prevalence and magnitude of this problem in our population of chronic renal failure patients, this study was conducted. 60 patients suffering from chronic renal failure not on dialysis as yet had the lipid patterns checked using the standard precautions. Interesting lipids patterns were observed as compared to international literature. The reason for this difference is not very clear.
