METHOD: In this study, the cases which referred to Hospital of Dicle University with drug intoxication have been analyzed. In the study, their lipid; Triglyceride, Total Cholesterol, High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol level of during first consultation was determined.

RESULTS: The lipid levels mean of the group that attempt to suicide were triglyceride 83,7±76,2 mg/dl, total cholesterol 137,5±46.0 mg/dl, HDL-C 38,0±14,0 mg/dl and LDL-C 74,0±39,2 mg/dl. The lipid levels mean of the control group were triglyceride 123,1±51,2 mg/dl, total cholesterol 176,7±48,7 mg/dl, HDL-C 44,0±6,3 mg/dl and LDL-C 107,7±44,4 mg/dl (in return; p=0.020, p=0.001, p=0.040 ve p<0.001). It was determined that there is a negative correlation between attempting to suicide with drug and the level of triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL-C and LDL-C.
