  1. Estimates pooled after multiple imputation using Rubinā€™s rules, total of 29,696 REGARDS participants included in the analysis. *Age, sex, race, region, income, education. ā€ Tobacco and alcohol use. ā€”History of cancer, chronic lung disease, coronary artery disease, diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, myocardial infarction, obesity, stroke. eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate. ACR = albumin-to-creatinine ratio. hsCRP = high sensitivity C-reactive protein. Cyst-C levels ranged from 0.1 to 11.9 mg/dL.
