Decline in cystatin C-based eGFR defined as >3 mL/min/year; ICAM-1 = intercellular adhesion molecule-1; PAP = plasmin-antiplasmin complex

*Adjusted for age, gender and race.

**Adjusted for age, gender, race, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, LDL, HDL, prevalent coronary heart disease and prevalent congestive heart failure.
