FSGS focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval, BP blood pressure, eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate, RBC red blood cell, HPF high powered field.

aDefinition: Urinary occult blood present, (1+), (2+), (3+) on dipstick; Urinary RBC present, ≥ 5/HPF in urine sediment; Hematuria present, (1+), (2+), (3+) on dipstick and ≥ 5/HPF in sediment.

bMultivariable model 1: Adjusted for systolic blood pressure, albumin, eGFR, daily urinary protein (log-transformed), hematuria.

cMultivariable model 2: Adjusted for age, systolic blood pressure, albumin, daily urinary protein (log-transformed), hematuria.
