Serum triglycerides and mortality risk across stages of chronic kidney disease in 2 million U.S. veterans

In the general population, elevated triglyceride (TG) levels are an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality. However, in chronic kidney disease, the association of serum TGs with mortality is less clear.We sought to examine the association of TGs with mortality across chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages in a large cohort of U.S. veterans.We examined 2,086,904 U.S. veterans with a TG measurement obtained between a baseline...
