Multivariate analysis of relationship between eGFR and novel renal biomarkers
| Variable | β | P‐value |
|---|---|---|
| BMI, kg/m2 | −0.18 | .041 |
| BNP, pg/mL | −0.31 | <.001 |
| Urinary vanin‐1, ng/mg Cr | −0.26 | .003 |
| R 2 | 0.23 | <.001 |
β indicates partial coefficient. The variables considered for entry into the models included BMI, smoker, LDL/HDL, plasma glucose, BNP, urinary vanin‐1, urinary NGAL, and urinary KIM‐1.
Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; BNP, B‐type natriuretic peptide; Cr, creatinine; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HDL, high‐density lipoprotein; LDL, low‐density lipoprotein.
