Associations of remnant cholesterol and apolipoprotein B with kidney function decline and progression to kidney failure in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetic kidney disease: a retrospective cohort study

Key takeaways

This study looked back at hospital records of people with type 2 diabetes and kidney disease. It asked whether two blood fat measures, remnant cholesterol and apolipoprotein B (a protein that carries fat through the blood), go along with a faster drop in kidney filtering rate (eGFR) and with reaching kidney failure. Looking back at records can show a link, not proof of cause. The record here has only the title, so the number of patients and the size of any link are not available.
