Patients with CKD have a higher prevalence of dyslipidemia and hypovitaminosis than the normal population. Recent studies in the general population have shown a potential link between 25(OH)D and dyslipidemia. However, such evidence in the early CKD population, especially in the Nepalese setting, is lacking. Thus, the present study aimed at investigating the status of 25(OH)D and dyslipidemia in the early CKD patients, and further to establish an association between 25(OH)D and lipid profile.
