	NT-proBNP	GDF-15	hsTnT	sST2	CA-125	hsCRP	IL-6	IL-33	IL-1β	sNEP	TNF-α	TNFRSF1A
*estimated by CKD-EPI (Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration). BMI = body mass index; CA-125 = cancer antigen 125; eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate; GDF-15 = growth differentiation factor 15; hsCRP = high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; hsTnT = high-sensitivity troponin T; IL = interleukin; NT-proBNP = N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide; sNEP = soluble neprilysin; sST2 = soluble interleukin-1 receptor-like 1; TNF-α = tumor necrosis factor α; TNFRSF1A = TNF receptor superfamily member 1A.
