Abstract excerpt
Hemodialysis (HD) patients have a high mortality rate due to vascular disease (VD). Therefore, we investigated the effect of uremic dyslipidemia on VD in HD patients, with special consideration of the reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) system including high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) and its genetic (D442G) mutation. In 414 HD patients, a sub-median HDL-C...
