(A) Adjusted probability of mortality for tertiles of homocysteine (HCys) according to eGFR. EGFR is presented as a continuous measure on the x-axis and adjusted probability of mortality on the y-axis. Subjects were divided by homocysteine tertiles (cut points were ≤10, 10.1 to 12.4, and ≥12.5 μmol/L from lowest to highest tertile). Note the interaction between eGFR and homocysteine whereby as eGFR decreased, the highest tertile of homocysteine was significantly associated with mortality, in contrast to the lowest and intermediate tertiles. (B) Predictive value of fibrinogen according to CKD status. EGFR is presented as a continuous measure on the x-axis and adjusted probability of mortality on the y-axis. Subjects were divided by fibrinogen tertiles (cut points were ≤300, 301 to 350, and ≥351 mg/dl from lowest to highest tertile). Note that in general, there was an association between decreasing eGFR and increasing mortality risk that was more prominent in the highest compared with the lowest tertile of fibrinogen.
