Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and accounts for 40% of all deaths among pediatric patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD 5). Dyslipidemia is common in children with CKD and is considered one of the major causes of CVD in these patients.
