Why the study?
Do serum lipid profiles and lipid ratios predict chronic kidney disease in a Chinese population?
Do serum lipid profiles and lipid ratios predict chronic kidney disease in a Chinese population?
Serum triglycerides may serve as a sex-specific predictor for chronic kidney disease in men, though triglyceride levels correlate negatively with eGFR in both sexes.
Serum TG is the only suitable predictor for CKD in men. However, in women, none of serum lipids and lipid ratio can be used as a predictor for CKD. Log TG and log TG/HDL-C are negatively correlated with eGFR in both genders.
