BioVU, biorepository; CKD, chronic kidney disease; NOS, not otherwise specified; OR, odds ratio; PheWAS, phenome-wide association study; UTI, urinary tract infection.

All associations listed were significant at the Bonferroni-corrected significance level of 3.27 × 10−05.

a

Yes means that the association was replicated in BioVU or the UK Biobank.

b

No means that the association was not replicated in BioVU or the UK Biobank.
