Analysis of the Correlation between Hypercholesterolemia and Increased Cardiovascular Morbidity and Mortality among Adult Kidney Transplant Recipients
A high LDL-C/HDL-C ratio is predictive of an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in KTRs. These findings emphasize the significance of the LDL-C/HDL-C ratio as a valuable marker of cardiovascular risk and support current recommendations to improve hypercholesterolemia in this high-risk group.
