To Study Lipid Profile Status in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients

Abstract

Background: To study lipid profile in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients.

Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 50 COPD patients and including 50 healthy controls were enrolled in the study.

Results: The lipid profile in COPD patients showed significantly higher serum levels of TC, TG, LDL as compare to controls and serum concentrations of HDL were also decreased significantly compared to controls.

ConclusionL: COPD patients showed significantly higher serum levels of TC, TG, LDL and serum concentrations of HDL were also decreased significantly compared to controls.

Keywords: Lipid profile, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, patients.
