This included significant reductions in the incidence of CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction and nonfatal stroke (Lincoff et al, 2023)
As such, glomerular lesions occur which include glomerular basement membrane thickening, podocyte effacement and loss, mesangial expansion, epithelialmesenchymal transition EMT and fibrosis, collagen deposition, damage to the capillary architecture and an influx of inflammatory cells including macrophages
