CKD = Chronic Kidney Disease; HD = Hemodialysis; CAPD = continuos ambulatory peritoneal dialysis; TC = Total cholesterol; HDL-C = HDL-cholesterol; LDL-C = LDL-cholesterol; VLDL = Very-low-density lipoprotein; IDL = Intermediate-density lipoprotein; ApoB = Apolipoprotein B; Apo-A1 = Apolipoprotein A1.
