Abstract
The accelerated atherosclerosis seen in dialysis patients is multifactorial in origin. Abnormalities in lipid metabolism probably contribute to this premature vascular disease. Despite attempts to modify these abnormalities by dietary modifications, change in dialysis modalities, drug therapy and more recently exercise, the ideal approach has not yet been determined.
