Tubule Reabsorption Score 1.37 (1.23 to 1.54) 1.18 (1.04 to 1.34) 1.21 (1.06 to 1.38)
Tubular Reserve/Mineral Metabolism Score 1.35 (1.21 to 1.51) 1.22 (1.06 to 1.39) 1.24 (1.08 to 1.42)

eGFR (per SD =10.4 ml/min/1.73m2decrease) 1.29 (1.15 to 1.43) - 0.98 (0.85 to 1.13)
ACR 1.44 (1.29 to 1.60) - 1.23 (1.08 to 1.40)

Tubule Injury/Fibrosis Score 1.34 (1.07 to 1.67) 1.18 (0.94 to 1.48) 1.11 (0.88 to 1.41)
Tubule Reabsorption Score 1.41 (1.18 to 1.68) 1.11 (0.92 to 1.35) 1.13 (0.93 to 1.39)
Tubular Reserve/Mineral Metabolism Score 1.62 (1.37 to 1.92) 1.41 (1.14 to 1.74) 1.41 (1.13 to 1.74)

eGFR (per SD=10.4 ml/min/1.73m2 decrease) 1.47 (1.24 to 1.75) - 1.03 (0.82 to 1.29)
ACR 1.64 (1.39 to 1.94) - 1.32 (1.08 to 1.62)

Demographics: age, sex, race. CVD risk factors: SBP, DBP, number of hypertension medications at baseline, smoking, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, statin use, history of CVD or HF. ACR modeled per SD of log2-transformed ACR. Bold indicates p<0.05.
