For the following continuous variables, the odds ratio is per standard deviation of the value: eGFR, age, waist circumference, total metabolic equivalent (MET), LDL, HDL, and phosphate. The natural log of one plus the following continuous variables was used: hs-CRP, Lipoprotein a, total PTH, 24 hours urine protein. The following variables were from baseline measurements: Total METs, hsCRP, uric acid, homocysteine, Lipoprotein a, and total PTH.
