Characteristics of serum lipid levels and associated factors in patients with Livercirrhosis at Thai Binh General Hospital

Tóm tắt

Objective: To describe serum lipid levels and associated factors in patients with liver cirrhosis treated at Thai Binh General Hospital in 2025.
Method: A retrospective cross-sectional study included 116 cirrhotic patients (01/2025–11/2025). Total cholesterol (TC), LDL-C, HDL-C, and triglycerides (TG) were analyzed and compared by sex, age, BMI, and serum albumin.
Results: Most patients were male (92.2%) and aged 40–60 years (53.4%); Child-Pugh B and C accounted for 50.0% and 41.4%, respectively. Mean TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, and TG were 3.86±1.82, 2.10±1.31, 0.87±0.74, and 1,49 [1,63]mmol/L. Dyslipidemia was present in 82.8%. Lipid levels did not differ by sex, age, or BMI (p>0.05), but were significantly higher in patients with albumin ≥35 g/L than <35 g/L (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Dyslipidemia is common in cirrhosis and is significantly associated with serum albumin, reflecting hepatic synthetic function.
