A correlation analysis was performed to identify the correlation between TSTD2 antibody levels and the clinical features in patients with CKD. Correlation coefficient (Rho) and P-values were calculated using Spearman's correlation analysis. Significant correlations (P<0.05) are marked in bold font. TSTD2, thiosulfate sulfurtransferase-like domain-containing 2; CKD, chronic kidney disease; BMI, body mass index; maximum IMT, maximum intima-media thickness; ABI, ankle brachial pressure index; CAVI, cardio-ankle vascular index; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; W-PTH, whole parathyroid hormone; ARB, angiotensin II receptor blocker; ACE, angiotensin converting enzyme; PTA, prothrombin; TSAT ratio, transferrin saturation ratio; Kt/V, standardized urea clearance; RBC, red blood cell number; PLT, platelet number; TP, total protein; ALB, albumin; UA, uric acid; HGB, hemoglobin; HCT, hematocrit; UN, urea nitrogen; CRE, creatinine; IP, inorganic phosphate; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, alanine amino transferase; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; γ-GTP, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase; AP, alkaline phosphatase; tBil, total bilirubin; AMY, amylase; T-CHO, total cholesterol; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; and CRP, C-reactive protein.
