Association between statin therapy and incident diabetes mellitus in patients with nephrotic syndrome: a retrospective cohort study

This relationship exhibits dose-dependent nonlinear characteristics, suggesting careful consideration of cumulative statin dose is warranted when managing lipid disorders in this patient population.
