Title: Kidney Disease Drug Discovery: Model Selection & Study Design

Our latest paper: Direct measurement of Lp(a)-cholesterol (Lp(a)-C) (Developed in our lab at UCSD) shows that commonly used formula-based approaches systematically overestimate Lp(a)-C and therefore underestimate true LDL-C.
In some individuals with very high Lp(a), formula-derived corrections can even produce biologically impossible negative LDL-C values, highlighting the limitations of these estimation methods.
Our study demonstrates that empirical direct measurement of Lp(a)-C provides a more accurate assessment of LDL-C than current correction formulas.
Why does this matter clinically? Lp(a)-C can contribute 15–30 mg/dL (or more) of the cholesterol currently reported as "LDL-C." As Lp(a)-lowering therapies become available, knowing the patient's true LDL-C will become increasingly important for optimizing lipid-lowering therapy and determining whether additional LDL-C reduction is needed.
Direct Lp(a)-C measurement is now available for research through Medpace.

Dos mujeres. Mismo HbA1c, misma edad, mismo HOMA2. Se diferencian en 0,5 kg/m² de IMC.
El algoritmo asigna a una MARD y a la otra MOD.
Ese es el problema de fondo que plantea esta revisión en @DiabetologiaJnl sobre los subtipos de DM2 ➡️clasificamos sobre variables continuas y perdemos información por el camino.
No es un alegato contra los subtipos sino a favor de reportar la incertidumbre de clasificación y de usar modelos predictivos cuando lo que buscamos es decidir sobre opciones de tratamiento. Muy interesante

Triglycerides & Residual ASCVD Risk
• A new review highlights remnant lipoproteins as a major driver of residual ASCVD risk.
• Triglycerides are a marker, not the direct cause of atherosclerosis.
• Residual risk remains high despite achieving LDL-C targets.
• ApoC-III and ANGPTL3 therapies may better reduce remnant lipoproteins.
• Conclusion: Targeting ApoB-containing remnant particles may further reduce cardiovascular risk beyond LDL-C lowering.
