Investigation of Metabolic Factors Associated with eGFR Decline Over 1 Year in a Japanese Population without CKD.

CONCLUSION: Low HDL-C and ApoA1 levels significantly correlated with eGFR decline in a short period of 1 year. Metabolic syndrome also showed a significant association with eGFR decline. This study suggests the importance of hypertension and low HDL-C in the metabolic syndrome effect on eGFR decline rather than obesity in non-CKD population.
