Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and risk of gallstone disease: A Mendelian randomization study and meta-analyses
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Drugs which reduce plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) may protect against gallstone disease. Whether plasma levels of LDL-C per se predict risk of gallstone disease remains unclear. We tested the hypothesis that elevated LDL-C is a causal risk factor for symptomatic gallstone disease.
