What is the recommendation for investigating the independent association between Lp(a), apoB and cardiovascular outcomes in people with CKD?
The K/DOQI Clinical Practice Guidelines recommend that large prospective studies be conducted to investigate the independent association between Lp(a), apoB and cardiovascular outcomes in people with CKD, and that it should be investigated whether knowledge of high Lp(a), non-HDL-C, and/or apoB values has any influence on the management of other risk factors and whether this has an influence on outcomes.
