12. Unstable or severe liver, kidney, cardiovascular, psychiatric, neurological, endocrine, hematologic, or other diseases at screening or before randomization, where the investigator determines participation poses an unacceptable risk to the subject;

14. Plasma exchange therapy within 4 weeks before screening or randomization, or planned during the trial;
15. Use of other drugs significantly affecting lipid levels within 4 weeks before screening or randomization, or planned during the trial, such as traditional Chinese medicine containing statins (e.g., Zhibituo, Zhibitai), other lipid-lowering drugs and supplements (e.g., probucol, bile acid sequestrants, niacin, over-the-counter drugs, red yeast rice), GLP-1 agonists, other incretin analogues;
16. Use of weight-loss drugs or undergoing weight-altering surgery within 2 months before screening or randomization, or planned during the study;

18. Significant lifestyle changes within 4 weeks before screening or randomization, or refusal to follow lifestyle guidance or limit alcohol intake to \<30 g/day during the study;
19. eGFR calculated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula \<60 mL/min/1.73 m²;
