Abstract

Background and Aims : Dyslipidemia contributes to the pronounced interconnection between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Few studies with contradicting results have investigated the association between PCSK9 serum concentrations and cardiovascular outcomes in CKD patients.
