Quartiles of serum total bilirubin are as follows: ≤ 0.55, 0.55–0.71, 0.71–0.88, and > 0.88.

eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; BMI, body mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; LDL-C, low density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C, high density lipoprotein cholesterol; RAS, renin-angiotensin system.
