Multiple linear regression analysis of independent variables associated with UACR.
| β | t | P | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diabetic duration | 0.11 | 2.05 | 0.04 |
| Hypertension | 0.12 | 2.06 | 0.04 |
| DBP | 0.13 | 2.23 | 0.02 |
| FPG | 0.13 | 2.20 | 0.03 |
| FT3 | −0.18 | −3.70 | <0.01 |
| eGFR | −0.25 | −5.11 | <0.01 |
| Presence of DR | 0.21 | 4.40 | <0.01 |
Data for TSH, HbA1c, and UACR levels were natural log-transformed, and those for TG levels were arctan-transformed before analysis.
UACR, urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; FT3, free triiodothyronine; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; DR, diabetic retinopathy.
