Table 3. Linear Model of Glomerular Filtration Rate (ml/min per 1.73 m2)* as a function of Homoarginine.

Coefficient 95% CI Beta P value
Homoarginine(µmol/L)* 0.404 0.231, 0.577 0.313 <0.001
Homocysteine(µmol/L) −0.009 −0.014, −0.005 −0.294 <0.001
ADMA (µmol/L)* −0.595 −1.072, −0.117 −0.169 0.015
L-arginine (µmol/L)* −0.388 −0.672, −0.104 −0.230 0.008
Presence of diabetes −0.296 −0.466, −0.126 0.001

Legend: (*) indicates variables that were log-transformed; the regression coefficients estimate the average change in the log values of the response (Glomerular Filtration Rate [GFR] in ml/min per 1.73 m2) per unit change in the predictor (log-unit change [2.72 units on the natural scale µmol/L] if log-transformed); 95% CI indicates 95% Confidence Intervals; Beta? indicates the standardized regression coefficient (not meaningful for the binary variable diabetes); ADMA: asymmetric dimetyhlarginine; Model R2∶0.289; all variance inflating factors <1.1.
