The role of traditional risk factors, including plasma lipids, in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular (CV) disease in chronic dialysis patients is unclear. Previous studies have suggested that lower serum total cholesterol (TC) is associated with higher mortality in patients on chronic haemodialysis (HD). Whether this relationship is specific to the HD population or is common to the uraemic state is unclear. The present study evaluated the association of serum TC and triglycerides with clinical outcomes in chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.
