MFI median fluorescence intensity.

Chronic kidney disease defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate below 45 mL/min/1.73 m.

Multivariable adjusted results arise from a linear regression model including all variables present in this table.

Statistical significance was assessed using two-sided tests. P-values are reported without adjustment for multiple comparisons.

Results from 6245 C4R participants with serology results from February 2021 through August 2022.
