Model 1: age, race, study site, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, tobacco, alcohol use, log(24-hour proteinuria), eGFR (Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort equation), systolic BP, diastolic BP, body mass index, LDL, HDL, aldosterone antagonists, angiotensin–converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, diuretics, β-blockers, phosphate, and hemoglobin. Model 2: model 1 plus log(parathyroid hormone), log(fibroblast growth factor-23), aspirin, and statin. Model 3: model 2 plus log(B–type natriuretic peptide) and log(high–sensitivity troponin T). LVMI, left ventricular mass index; Q, quartile; HR, hazard ratio; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval.
