Activity of HMG-CoA reductase is not altered by CKD but is increased in the presence of nephritic-range proteinuria, resulting in increased cholesterol biosynthesis. There are other more minor enzymatic defects as well as lipoprotein receptors, reduction of which impairs clearance of atherogenic ...
