This study sought to determine the associations between plasma lipids (including LDL particle distribution) and subclinical atherosclerosis measured by the common carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) across levels of estimated GFR (eGFR) and to assess whether inflammation modifies these associations.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Design, setting, participants, & measurements<\/jats:title>\n Cross-sectional analyses of 6572 participants in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis enrolled from 2000 to 2002 were performed.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n CKD, defined as eGFR <60 ml\/min per 1.73 m\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n , was present in 853 individuals (13.0%). Associations of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) with IMT were J shaped, particularly among participants with CKD (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n value for interaction,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =0.01). HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) and small-dense LDL-C were consistently and linearly associated with IMT across levels of eGFR. The results showed differences in IMT of \u221221.41 (95% confidence interval, \u221241.00, \u22121.57) in eGFR \u226560 and \u221258.49 (\u2212126.61, 9.63) in eGFR <60 per unit difference in log-transformed HDL-C, and 4.83 (3.16, 6.50) in eGFR \u226560 and 7.48 (1.45, 13.50) in eGFR <60 per 100 nmol\/L difference in small-dense LDL. Among participants with CKD, inflammation significantly modified the associations of total cholesterol and LDL-C with IMT (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n values for interaction,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n <0.01 and\n P<\/jats:italic>\n <0.001, respectively).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Compared with total cholesterol and LDL-C, abnormalities in HDL-C and small-dense LDL-C are more strongly and consistently associated with subclinical atherosclerosis in CKD.
