  1. CKD Chronic kidney disease, TC Total cholesterol, TG Triglyceride, HDL-C High-density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, Apo Apolipoprotein, CI Confidence interval, MR Mendelian randomization; The significant result (P > 0.05) indicates that the y-intercept of the MR-Egger regression line is not significantly different from zero and thus no pleiotropy exists
