LDL particle size and number compared with LDL cholesterol and risk categorization in end-stage renal disease patients.
Conclusions: Our study seems to suggest that using LDL particle size may help to identify those who would not be considered at-risk using LDL-C, non-HDL-C or triglycerides alone, and can be used as a further screening measure that may be more predictive of coronary heart disease outcomes.
