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.
