Is High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Causally Related to Kidney Function? Evidence From Genetic Epidemiological Studies.

Arteriosclerosis, thrombosis, and vascular biology - 1 Nov 2016

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: A recent observational study with almost 2 million men reported an association between low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and worse kidney function. The causality of this association would be strongly supported if genetic variants associated with HDL cholesterol were also associated with kidney function. APPROACH AND RESULTS: We used 68 genetic variants (single-nucleotide polymorphisms...
