Association Between High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Efflux Capacity and Renal Function in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
By Takahiro Hadano, Sadako Matsui, Chika Hiraishi and 3 others.
Abstract
Background: The cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (HDL-CEC) is inversely associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is frequently complicated by chronic kidney disease (CKD), usually associated with increased homocysteine (Hcy), and these conditions are likely to be involved in HDL dysfunction. However, the relationship between HDL-CEC and CKD, as well as Hcy levels in patients with T2DM remains unclear.
