Association of remnant cholesterol with cardiovascular events and mortality in biopsy-proven diabetic kidney disease

Key Points

• Remnant cholesterol significantly contributes to cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in diabetic kidney disease.
• Participants with elevated levels of remnant cholesterol have increased overall risks, compared to those with normal levels.
• Observational analysis of biopsy-proven cases highlights the need for awareness of cholesterol's role in disease management.
• Implications suggest urgent efforts in monitoring and managing cholesterol could reduce risks associated with diabetic kidney disease.
