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.
