TABLE 2.
Correlations between urinary sodium excretion and clinical parameters in CKD patients
| Parameters | Urinary sodium (mmol/d) | |
|---|---|---|
| r | p | |
| Age(years) | .068 | .055 |
| BMI (kg/m2) | .198 | ˂.001 |
| Urinary protein (g/d) | .178 | ˂.001 |
| eGFR (ml/min/1.73 m²) | .012 | .734 |
| Scr (μmol/L) | .034 | .341 |
| Serum albumin (g/L) | −.061 | .084 |
| TG (mmol/L) | .109 | .002 |
| TC (mmol/L) | .078 | .028 |
| LDL‐C (mmol/L) | .088 | .013 |
| HDL‐C (mmol/L) | −0.076 | .032 |
| Hemoglobin (g/L) | .098 | .005 |
| Urinary potassium (mmol/d) | .444 | ˂.001 |
| Urinary creatinine (g/d) | .322 | ˂.001 |
A two‐tailed p < .05 was considered statistically significant.
Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; CKD, chronic kidney disease; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HDL‐C, high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL‐C, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol; Scr, serum creatinine; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride.
