Dyslipidaemia in patients with chronic kidney disease - a neglected cardiovascular risk factor

CONCLUSION: This cohort comprised a large proportion of patients classified as high or very high risk for ASCVD. Despite this, the use of LLT was inadequate, and <20% of patients were at target LDL-C levels. These data suggest a greater need for awareness of initiating LLT to achieve recommended target LDL-C levels in patients with CKD.PMID:38525632 | DOI:10.7196/SAMJ.2023.v113i11.1089
