The mortality of patients with chronic kidney diseases (CKD) increases with the decrease in glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). In the progress of CKD that is closely linked to non-communicable diseases (NCDs), the role of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is not fully evaluated. We aimed to evaluate the importance of CoQ10, CoQ10/cholesterol ratio, and oxidative stress in the progress of CKD.
