Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Researchers followed Korean patients with kidney disease to see if cholesterol levels matter. They looked at a specific type of cholesterol called remnant cholesterol. The study found a link between these levels and needing dialysis. This is an observational study, so it shows a link, not proof of cause.
