Associations of secretory solute clearance with eGFR decline

Solute Median (IQR) clearance (ml/min)
Model 1
Model 2
Controls Cases OR (95% CI) P-value OR (95% CI) P-value
Cinnamoylglycine 151.8 (94.9–309.0) 170.7 (95.5–289.2) 0.89 (0.72, 1.10) 0.29 0.88 (0.71, 1.09) 0.25
Isovalerylglycine 715.8 (521.5–1221.0) 632.5 (445.0–997.3) 1.69 (1.14, 2.52) 0.0091b 1.91 (1.23, 2.96) 0.0038b

CI, confidence interval; CKD-EPI, Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c; IQR, interquartile range; OR, odds ratio; SBP, systolic blood pressure.

Odds ratios are per 50% lower secretory clearance for individual solutes and per 10-point decrement for summary score. Model 1 adjusts for age, baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (2012 CKD-EPI creatinine), diabetes, flexibly- modeled HbA1c, and sex; model 2 further adjusts for log-transformed 24-hour urine albumin, SBP, body mass index, and current smoking.

a

Significant at P < 0.05.

b

Significant at P < 0.01 accounting for multiple comparisons.
