Therapeutic lifestyle changes are important for general reduction of risk overall, but patients who are more likely to develop CHD, or who have high cholesterol, should be treated with statins.
Some studies suggest that dialysis patients with low LDL cholesterol levels have increased risk of mortality vs. those with higher LDL cholesterol levels [ 24 ] . LDL cholesterol and conventional cardiac risk factors are insensitive predictors of CAD in this population [ 25 ] , and may reflect the high frequency of malnutrition [ 26 ] and established cardiovascular disease [ 27 ] . In our study, albumin remained stable as LDL cholesterol levels declined.
As urbanization progresses and food availability equalizes among both urban and rural populations, there is less of an association between increasing income and increasing BMI and cholesterol.
Studies have shown that the sitosterolemic patients hyperabsorb all sterols (cholesterol and phytosterols) and fail to excrete phytosterols into bile [ 3 4 5 6 7 ] . Positional mapping of the STSL locus to human chromosome 2p21 led to the identification of two genes, ATP binding cassette (ABC) half-transporters G5 and G8 that were mutated in affected individuals [ 8 9 10 11 12 ] . The protein products of these two genes (sterolin-1 and sterolin-2 respectively) are thought to form heterodimers to constitute a functional transporter, based primarily on the genetic evidence that affected individuals are either completely mutated in sterolin-1 or sterolin-2, but not both [ 12 ] . More recently, evidence from in vitro expression of these proteins has been presented that these two proteins co-immunoprecipitate, supporting this conclusion [ 13 ] . ABCG5 and ABCG8 appear to be present in all mammalian genomes examined to date and are highly conserved between species, indicating that these genes may have a similar function in other species.
