Dyslipidemia promotes the progression of chronic kidney disease
Published Online: 5 April 2013
Abstract
Dyslipidemia,including hypercholesterolemia,hypertriglyceridemia,and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterinemia,is a key risk factor to atherosclerosis.The detrimental effect of elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and/or decreased HDL cholesterol on cardiovascular disease risk had been well established from previous studies.1 Recently,emerging evidences suggest that dyslipidemia may also be an important contributor to morbidity and mortality of chronic kidney disease (CKD),which has received more and more attention as the prevalence of CKD increases. In our study published in this issue,2 data were collected among 4779 middle-aged and elderly Chinese population.We found that participants with hypercholesterolemia had greater prevalence of albuminuria and reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).
