Table 2 Linear mixed model for the annual rate of decline in renal function

From: Uric acid: association with rate of renal function decline and time until start of dialysis in incident pre-dialysis patients

Mean decline in eGFR (ml/min/1.73 m2)

-1.61 (95% CI -2.01; -1.22)

Change in decline in eGFR per mg/dl increase in UA at baseline

Crude (n = 129)

-0.14 (95% CI -0.61; 0.33)

Adjusted for Model 1 (n = 129)

-0.05 (95% CI -0.56; 0.47)

Adjusted for Model 2 (n = 129)

-0.14 (95% CI -0.70; 0.42)

  1. Model 1 = Age, sex, ethnicity, PKD, BMI, CVD, hypertension, DM, protein restricted diet, SBD.
  2. Model 2 = Model 1 + LDL, cholesterol, proteinuria, diuretics, allopurinol.
