This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of hyperlipidemia and its impact on graft function in 10 years of follow-up of patients undergoing kidney transplantation. This prospective study was conducted on 73 patients who underwent kidney transplantation between April 1996 and April 1998 to evaluate their lipid profile and graft function as well as the effect of hyperlipidemia in long-term kidney allograft function. Kidney allograft dysfunction was defined as a serum creatinine level greater than 1.8 mg/dL. The mean serum triglyceride level was higher at 1, 3, 5, and 10 years, but not 7 years, among patients with graft dysfunction in comparison with patients with normal graft function. However, these differences were not significant. The mean serum total cholesterol level was significantly higher in patients with graft dysfunction at 1 year (P = ...
