U-Shaped Relationship Between Proteinuria and High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol: Results of Cross-Sectional and Six Years Cohort Studies (KITCHEN-10)
Abstract:Background: Although a very high level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) may be a potential cardiovascular disease risk factor, the detail and underlying mechanism remain unclear. Therefore, we examined the associations of serum HDL-C with the incidence of proteinuria, a predictor for cardiovascular disease, in a community-based study.
Methods:We investigated clinical parameters, including serum HDL-C and proteinuria, among 1,191,409 people aged 40 -74 years who underwent a health checkup in a cr… Show more
