Cardiovascular mortality is an important cause of mortality in patients withchronic kidney failure. It has been reported that triglyceride/high density lipoprotein ratio (TG/HDL) cholesterol ratio shows cardiac risk in previous studies. In our study, we aimed to show whetherthere is a relationship between TG/HDL cholesterol ratio and cardiovascular risk in patients withchronic renal failure receiving dialysis treatment and not. Materials and Methods: A single-center retrospective study. In our study, 40 healthy, 50 dialysedpatients with chronic renal failure and 50 patients without receiving dialysis (predialysis) whoapplied to internal medicine outpatient clinic were included. Patients' files were scannedretrospectively. TG/HDL ratios were recorded and calculated. Patients who use lipid-lowering drugs and patients with diabetes were not included in our study. Results: TG/HDL cholesterol ratio was found to be statistically significantly higher in predialysispatients and patients receiving dialysis due to chronic renal failure compared to healthy controls.TG/HDL cholesterol ratio was higher in patients with chronic renal failure that did not undergodialysis compared to patients with chronic renal failure that were dialysed, but it was not statisticallysignificant. Conclusion: As an indicator of cardiovascular mortality due to chronic kidney disease, theTG/HDL-C ratio can be an inexpensive, reproducible predictor. TG/HDL-C ratio was found to behigher in patients with chronic kidney disease that did not undergo dialysis, compared to chronickidney patients undergoing dialysis and the healthy control group.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle3513935484607
