Dyslipidemia is an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is the main cause of mortality among haemodialysis (HD) patients. We investigate the prevalence and characteristics of dyslipidemia in HD patients. Also, we aimed to study the prediction scores; Framingham risk score (FRS), and the atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk score; among this population. One hundred fifty-three HD patients were enroled in this retrospective cross-sectional study from two HD centres in Syria, from March 2021 to March 2022. Dyslipidemia is considered as follows; hyper-total cholesterol (TC) (≥200 mg/dl), hyper-triglycerides (TG), (≥150 mg/dl), hyper-low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (≥100 mg/dl), hypo-high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (<40 mg/dl), hyper-Non-HDL (≥130 mg/dl). The most prevalent dyslipidemic parameter was low HDL (72.50%) followed by increased TGs (37.30%). TC, LDL, HDL, and Non-HDL showed differences between males and females (P=0.001, 0.015, 0.024, and 0.025; respectively). These parameters were higher in females. History of CVD showed associations with TC, LDL, HDL, and non-HDL (P=0.003, 0.007, 0.004, and 0.004; respectively). Additionally, statins showed effects on TC, LDL, and non-HDL (P=0.003, 0.0002, and 0.002; respectively); however, no relation with TG and HDL (P=0.9 and 0.4). HDL level showed differences in low (7.5%) and intermediate (10%) FRS (P=0.01 and 0.028; respectively); however, it did not show a difference in high (20%) FRS (P=0.68). The lipids profile did not show differences in different thresholds of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease scores. The prevalence of dyslipidemia was high in HD patients in Syria. All lipid parameters except TG showed differences between males and females. Comparisons of lipid parameters with CVD risk stratifications support the need for further studies to prove the benefits of these scores in CVD prediction among the dialysis population.
