Odds ratio of CKD by quartiles of urinary CTGF concentration in the Framingham Heart Study and ARI

*

Multivariable adjustment included the following variables: estimated glomerular filtration rate, systolic blood pressure, hypertension treatment, diabetes, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, body mass index, smoking

Abbreviation: UACR: Urinary albumin-creatinine ratio; ARIC, Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities; CTGF, connective tissue growth factor; CKD, chronic kidney disease; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval
