Summary
Small dense low-density lipoprotein (LDL) plays an important role in causing glomerular
injury through conversion to an oxidatively modified form of LDL. However, few studies
evaluated the effects of antilipidemic agents on the LDL particle size and renoprotective
actions in hyperlipidemic patients with non-diabetic nephropathy.
