Albuminuria Does Not Elevate LDL Cholesterol in Patients with Stage 5 CKD

Patients with stage 5 CKD with albuminuria have normal concentrations of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, according to recent 30-patient study. Although the study is small, it calls for additional research to assess any links between albuminuria and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in CKD patients. The Journal of Applied Medical Sciences findings suggest that impairment of renal function may have a positive impact on the metabolism of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
