Background and objectivesMalnutrition and/or inflammation may modify the risk relationship of total cholesterol with cardiovascular disease in CKD patients. However, it is unclear whether the relationship of total cholesterol with cardiovascular events and mortality varies by proteinuria.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsThis study enrolled 3303 patients with CKD stages 3-5 from a medical center and a regional hospital between November of 2002 and May of 2009 and followed the patients until July of 2010.ResultsDuring a median 2.8-year follow-up, there were 471 (14.3%) deaths and 545 (16.5%) cardiovascular events. In an adjusted Cox model, the two highest quartiles of total cholesterol (hazard ratio, 1.90; 95% confidence interval, 1.16 to 3.13 and hazard ratio, 2.00; 95% confidence interval, 1.18 to 3.39 versus quartile 1, respectively) were associated with a significant higher risk of all-cause mortality in patients with urine protein-to-creatinine ratio
