Pathology of glomerular lipidosis.

abstract：:Dyslipidemia is an established risk factor for atherosclerotic disease, such as stroke and ischemic heart disease, and is often detected in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The role of dyslipidemia in CKD progression, however, is not well understood. CKD patients are heterogeneous and may include those who ...
