- Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with hyperreactive platelets and increased platelet-leukocyte aggregation (PLA), but the impact of concomitant chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been much less studied. Lipid-lowering treatment (LLT) may have favorable effects on platelet activation and inflammation. The objective of this mechanistic study was to investigate the impact of CKD on platelet function and inflammatory parameters in patients with DM and the effects of LLT.
