Inverse Association Between Serum Non–High‐Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Levels and Mortality in Patients Undergoing Incident Hemodialysis

Background There is accumulating evidence that serum levels of non–high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (non– HDL ‐C) are a more accurate predictor of cardiovascular outcomes when compared with low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol. However, we recently found that higher serum concentrations of triglycerides are associated with better outcomes in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Therefore, we hypothesized that the association of serum levels of...
