abstract：:Patients undergoing chronic renal replacement therapy have a high incidence of dyslipidemia. In general, there are increased concentrations of triglyceride-rich apolipoprotein B-containing particles. These elevations lead to increased levels of non-high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels. This pattern is further modifie...
