Data presented as β-coefficient, 95% confidence interval CI and adjusted-R2.

Analyses are adjusted for age and gender.

Model 1 = age + gender; Model 2.1 = age + gender + eGFR (MDRD); Model 2.2 = age + gender + eGFR (CKD-EPI).

CKD-EPI, Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; Hb, haemoglobin; MCH, mean corpuscular Hb; MCHC, MCH concentration; MCV, mean corpuscular volume; MDRD, Modification of Diet in Renal Disease; N/L ratio, lymphocyte to neutrophil ratio; RBC, red blood cells; RDW, red cell distribution width; WBC, white blood cells.
