–2 log likelihood ratio p < 0.05 compared to model 1.

**

–2 log likelihood ratio p = 0.007 compared to model 1 and p = 0.04 and p = 0.049 compared to model 2 with β2MG or MCP-1, respectively.

ORs and p values were calculated using logistic regression analysis. Dependent variable is rapid versus slow disease progression (annual change in eGFR less than or equal to −3.5 versus greater than −3.5 mL/min/1.73 m2).

Model 1: Age, female sex, and eGFR.

Model 2: Age, female sex, eGFR, and one of the urinary biomarkers.

Model 3: Age, female sex, eGFR, urinary β2MG, and MCP-1 excretion.

eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; IgG, immunoglobulin G; β2MG, β2 microglobulin; KIM-1, kidney injury molecule 1; HFABP, heart-type fatty acid-binding protein; NGAL, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin; MCP-1, monocyte chemotactic protein 1.
