Serum apolipoproteins (apoA-1, apoB, and apoB/apoA-1 ratio) for early identification of dyslipidemia in children with CKD.

The prevalence (78.9%) of dyslipidemia was high in patients with CKD especially in those with later stages. The ratio of apoB/apoA-1 was altered early and appears to be promising for early detection. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.
