LDL-C/apoB and HDL-C/apoA-1 ratios predict incident chronic kidney disease in a large apparently healthy cohort

The LDL-C/apoB and HDL-C/apoA-1 ratios as well as TG and HDL-C concentrations independently predicted an increased risk for developing CKD. Our findings suggest that particle size of HDLs and LDLs may contribute to the development of CKD.
