Higher TRLs, ApoB, phenylalanine, inflammation markers and lower HDL and apolipoprotein A-1 (ApoA-1) have been associated with decreased eGFR in people with type 2 diabetes [9], and replicated in a larger study [10], indicating that altered lipoprotein and metabolic profiles may reflect impaired kidney function in diabetes. Here, APOB is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
