Standardized to urine creatinine and stratified by categories. Category 1 comprises all participants with undetectable urine α1-microglobulin. All analyses use category 1 as the reference category. eGFRCys, cystatin C-based eGFR; C1, category 1; C2, category 2; C3, category 3; α1m/cr, α1–microglobulin-to-creatinine ratio; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; ACR, albumin-to-creatinine ratio; KIM-1, kidney injury molecule-1; NGAL, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin.

a

Adjusted for age and race.

b

Adjusted for age, race, baseline eGFRCys, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hepatitis C virus infection, HIV viral load, CD4 lymphocyte count, antiretroviral therapy use, and serum albumin.

c

Adjusted for all covariates listed above with the addition of ACR.

d

Adjusted for all covariates listed above with the addition of ACR, IL-18, KIM-1, NGAL, and liver fatty acid binding protein.
