Furthermore, Subgroup analysis revealed that the risk of CVD death is statistically significantly increased with the rise in LDL-C/HDL-C ratio among female PD patients, patients younger than 65 years old, patients with BMI ≥ 18.5 kg/m2 or albumin ≥35 g/L, patients with a history of diabetes or cardiovascular diseases and also patients with high HDL-C (≥ 35 mg/dL), high TC (≥ 230 mg/dL), and high TG (≥150 mg/dL) levels, respectively, which suggesting a possible potential value for LDL-C/HDL-C ratio in risk prediction beyond traditional lipid profiles. Here, ALB is linked to diabetes mellitus.
