PCSK9 inhibitors: Specific studies are mandatory to prove efficacy and safety in CKD

Accordingly, cardiovascular mortality is increased even in the earliest stages of CKD. In the general population and in CKD patients, high plasma levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) are crucially involved in the initiation and progression of atherosclerotic...
