Multivariate Analysis of Associations between Cystatin C and Demographic, Clinical and Laboratory Characteristics in 103 Patients with Cirrhosis

Variables in the Multivariate Model	Beta Coefficient	Standard Error	P Value

Measured GFR (ml/min/1.73m²)^*	−0.008	0.001	<0.0001
Female gender	−0.121	0.095	0.206
Age (yr)	−0.003	0.004	0.430
African-American	−0.019	0.088	0.830
Weight (kg)	0.001	0.002	0.560
Height (m)	−0.009	0.005	0.105
C-Reactive Protein (mg/dl)	0.040	0.033	0.234
History of hypothyroidism	−0.006	0.124	0.959

In the current multivariate regression model, only measured GFR was an independent predictor of serum cystatin C.
