The association of renal dysfunction development during the follow-up with the basal levels of the traditional renal biomarkers.
| Variables | Univariate analyses | Multivariate analysesa | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OR (95% CI) | P | OR (95% CI) | P | |
| Basal ACR level | 1.12 (1.07-1.17) | <0.001 | 1.12 (1.06-1.17) | <0.001 |
| Basal A1MCR level | 1.04 (1.01-1.07) | 0.003 | 1.03 (1.01-1.06) | 0.016 |
| Basal UTRF/Cr level | 1.56 (1.08-2.25) | 0.019 | 1.48 (1.02-2.14) | 0.040 |
| Basal URBP/Cr level | 3.36 (1.31-8.63) | 0.012 | 2.64 (1.15-6.03) | 0.022 |
aAdjusted for age, HbA1c level, and hypertension (yes or no) at the baseline. ACR: albumin-to-creatinine ratio; A1MCR: alpha-1-microglobulin-to-creatinine ratio; UTRF/Cr: transferrin-to-creatinine ratio; URBP/Cr: retinol-binding protein-to-creatinine ratio.
