  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). Methods and Patients: This cross-sectional study included 126 Moroccan haemodialysis patients aged >18 years who had undergone dialysis for >6 months. Patients were divided into three groups: well-nourished patients (group 1), moderately malnourished patients (group 2) and severely malnourished patients (group 3). For each participant, clinical markers of malnutrition such as serum albumin and prealbumin were measured. Anthropometric measurements and a fasting lipid .. Read More»
