Prognostic value of serum total bilirubin-lipid ratios in patients with IgA nephropathy

Paper C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study asked whether the ratio of bilirubin (a yellow pigment made when old red blood cells break down) to blood fats can predict how IgA nephropathy will go. IgA nephropathy is a kidney disease where an immune protein builds up in the kidney's filters. It is an observational study, so it can show a link but not that one causes the other. The abstract was not available, so we cannot report how many people were studied or how strong the link was.
