Abstract

BACKGROUND: Lipid metabolism disorder, as one major complication in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), is tied to an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Traditional lipid-lowering statins have been found to have limited benefit for the final CVD outcome of CKD patients. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of microinflammation on CVD in statin-treated CKD patients.
