Data represent standardized coefficients of change in log-transformed values of listed lipid fractions for every 10 ml/min/1.73 m2 higher eGFR. Linear regression was performed in incremental models with the following co-variates.
Model 1: Age, gender, race.
Model 2: Age, gender, race, BMI, hypertension, lipid-lowering medications (statin, fibrate, niacin).
Model 3: Age, gender, race, BMI, hypertension, lipid-lowering medications, hemoglobin A1c, HOMA-IR, duration on insulin.
Model 4: Age, gender, race, BMI, hypertension, lipid-lowering medications, hemoglobin A1c, HOMA-IR, duration on insulin, urinary ACR.
*Definition of hypertension includes the use of anti-hypertensive medications.
**Statistically significant results are presented in bold.
