Table 1. Comparison of the gender, age, Cr, sLC(I/U), β2-MG, LDH, Ig levels between the two arms.
| MM arm | Non-MM arm | P | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number | 69 | 234 | |
| Male: Female | 44:25 | 118:116 | 0.051 |
| Age | 66(36–86) | 67(24–94) | 0.114 |
| Cr(μmol/L) | 85.0(64.5–110) | 73.5(56.8–108.5) | 0.077 |
| eGFR(ml/min/1.73m 2 ) | 73.6(47.5–93.2) | 83.4(49.9–101.1) | 0.181 |
| sLC(I/U) | 11.5333(4.0721–54.8929) | 1.9293(1.6027–2.2534) | <0.001* |
| β 2 -MG(mg/L) | 4.57(2.95–8.30) | 1.57(1.28–2.36) | <0.001* |
| LDH(U/L) | 199(166–262) | 191(165–237) | 0.24 |
| Ig(g/L) | 48.7(31.0–72.2) | 32.1(27.5–38.9) | <0.001* |
Age is shown as median age (the youngest age to the oldest age), and the data of Cr, sLC(I/U), β2-MG, LDH, and Ig were shown as a median (25-75th percentiles).
*represents P < 0.05, with statistical difference.
