Fig 2. Baseline characteristics across the quartiles of UPCR.

Fig 2

(A) Patients with lower quartile of UPCR are more likely to have a history of atherosclerotic CVD. (B) Patients with greater quartile of UPCR are more likely to have advanced diabetic retinopathy (proliferative diabetic retinopathy or history of panretinal photocoagulation). (C) Patients with greater quartile of proteinuria tend to receive insulin at dialysis initiation (P for trend = 0.01). There are no significant differences in HbA1c levels across UPCR quartiles. (D) Patients with low levels of proteinuria have small renal length. The association is adjusted for age, sex, eGFR, height, body mass index at discharge, and modality for measurement of renal length (CT or ultrasonography). Abbreviations: CVD, cardiovascular disease; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin A1c.
