Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk in Malnourished Moroccan Haemodialysis Patients: The Interest of Atherogenic Index of Plasma and Lipid Ratios

Abstract

Background: Protein-energy wasting (PEW) and dyslipidaemia are strongly associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and accelerated atherosclerosis in end-stage renal diseases patients. Our study aimed to assess the impact of malnutrition on lipid profiles and cardiovascular risk of Moroccan haemodialysis patients using lipid ratios and the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP).
