LPA and chronic kidney disease: In support of a role of Lp(a) in the development of CKD, Emdin et al. (48) reported that an LPA genotype score, associated with lower Lp(a) levels, was nominally associated with a lower risk of CKD [odds ratio, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.83–1.00; P = 0.04 per SD (∼28 mg/dl) lower genetically determined Lp(a)].
