Key result
Regular haemodialysis for 32 weeks did not improve hypertriglyceridaemia in patients with chronic uraemia, with no difference observed between dialyzed and undialyzed patients.
Why the study?
Does regular haemodialysis improve lipid and lipoprotein abnormalities in patients with chronic uraemia?
Population

Haemodialysis should not yet change lipid management in chronic uraemia; leaves open effects of longer regimens or adjunctive therapies.

Does regular haemodialysis improve lipid and lipoprotein abnormalities in patients with chronic uraemia?
Regular haemodialysis does not improve the hypertriglyceridaemia and lipoprotein abnormalities associated with chronic uraemia.
Daubresse et al. (1976) conducted an observational in Chronic uraemia. Regular haemodialysis vs. Undialyzed patients and healthy individuals was evaluated on Plasma triglycerides and lipoproteins. Regular haemodialysis for 32 weeks did not improve hypertriglyceridaemia in patients with chronic uraemia, with no difference observed between dialyzed and undialyzed patients.
