Abstract
Liu et al determine the relationship between cholesterol level and outcome in patients undergoing dialysis, accounting for inflammation and malnutrition. After discussing the methods and results, they reveal that the inverse association of total cholesterol level with mortality in dialysis patients is likely due to the cholesterol-lowering effect of systemic inflammation and malnutrition, not to a protective effect of high cholesterol concentrations.
