Association Between Dyslipidemia and Serum Level of 25-Hydroxyvitamin-D in Early Chronic Kidney Disease, Not on Dialysis: An Observational Cross-Sectional Study from the Himalayan Country.

Our study unveiled a high rate of dyslipidemia and hypovitaminosis in a considerable number of early CKD patients. Low serum level of 25(OH)D was significantly correlated with a higher rate of dyslipidemia. These findings indicate some evidence for 25(OH)D level as a marker of dyslipidemia prediction, and that decrease in serum level of 25(OH)D is associated with increased serum level of LDL and TC; it could increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, early recognition and timely management of hypovitaminosis and dyslipidemia is vital to prevent an inevitable cardiovascular event.
