Patterns and prevalence of dyslipidemia in patients with different etiologies of chronic liver disease.

CONCLUSION: Liver disease etiology is a major determinant of dyslipidemia patterns and prevalence. Progression to ACLD "improves" serum lipid levels while arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus are more prevalent. Future studies should evaluate cardiovascular events after ACLD-induced "improvement" of dyslipidemia.
