Lipid-lowering Therapies in Vietnamese Chronic Kidney Disease Population

Summary

This study aims to determine the mechanisms underlying dyslipidemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and effect of lipid-lowering therapies in patients with CKD via parameters of lipid, oxidative stress, tryptophan delegation as well as renal function and side effects. Thirty 3,4 CKD patients with low-density lipoprotein (LDL) \> 100 mg/mL (2,59mmol/l), randomly receive three different LDL lipid-lowering therapies: Simvastatin (40 mg/day) or ezetimibe/simvastatin combination (10/20 mg/day or 10/40 mg/day).
