Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how blood lipids and statins affect kidney function and overall mortality in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN) by analyzing data from various medical databases.
- It finds that higher levels of total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) are linked to a greater risk of progressing to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in these patients.
- Additionally, the use of statins is associated with lower urinary albumin excretion (UAE) and reduced risk of ESRD, suggesting their potential protective effects on kidney health in DN patients.
