Abbreviations: CKD, chronic kidney disease; NA, not applicable; RU, reference units.

a

Continuous results are reported as odds ratios per 1-U increase in natural log-transformed FGF23.

b

Adjusts for age, sex, and race/ethnicity.

c

Adjusts for factors in model 1 and for cardiovascular disease, systolic blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, and diuretic use.

d

Adjusts for factors in model 2 and for estimated glomerular filtration rate and ratio of urinary albumin to creatinine.

e

Full multivariable model adjusts for factors in model 3 and for levels of calcium, phosphate, and parathyroid hormone.
