Popis: Background. An elevated triglyceride level is associated with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in the general population. The associations between serum triglyceride and all-cause mortality among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are unclear. Methods. Patients with Stage 3 and Stage 4 CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate 15–59 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ) who had serum triglycerides measured prior to being classified as CKD were included. We examined the associations of serum triglyceride levels with all-cause mortality among 25 641 Stage 3 and Stage 4 CKD patients using Cox proportional hazard models and Kaplan–Meier survival curves. Results. In the Cox model, after adjusting for relevant covariates including other lipid parameters, serum triglyceride level 150–199 mg/dL was not associated with death [hazard ratio (HR) 1.00, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.92–1.10] relative to serum triglyceride
