Correlation between plasma proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 and blood lipids in patients with newly diagnosed primary nephrotic syndrome.
Conclusions: Plasma PCSK9 levels in newly diagnosed PNS patients were markedly increased, and elevated PCSK9 abundance was positively correlated with elevated serum TC and LDL-C levels, suggesting that PCSK9 may emerge as a novel therapeutic target in NS-associated hypercholesterolemia.
