Abstract
Lipid abnormalities and uremic toxins are features of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and may influence cardiovascular outcomes in CKD patients. Recent data suggest that uremic toxins may modulate lipoprotein levels and composition (e.g., oxidation or carbamylation) and enhance the cardiovascular toxicity of lipoproteins in CKD patients.
