  • * The ordinal multiple logistic regression shows variables independently associated with eGFR levels in all participants.

  • † The multivariate logistic regression analysis identified the independent influencing factors for high- and very-high-risk patients with CKD in accordance with KDIGO risk stratification. The analyses included age, BUN, UA, serum myoglobin, serum Cys-C, serum KIM-1/100 and serum REG Iα/100 into ordinal multiple logistic regression model, while adjusting for sex, diabetes, hypertension and FBG. The multivariate logistic regression model also incorporates the above covariates.
