Fig. 1

eGFR decline by baseline Lp(a) level. Baseline Lp(a) levels were divided into two groups using the atherogenic cutpoint of 30 mg/dL (baseline Lp(a) ≥ 30 N = 181; baseline Lp(a) < 30 N = 219). Regression through mixed effects modeling was performed, and graphical representation of eGFR changes over time reveals different rates of decline between the two groups. The data depicted reflect the fully adjusted models accounting for the following co-variates: age, gender, race, baseline SCr, BMI, hypertension, lipid-lowering medications, smoking, alcohol use, hemoglobin A1c, urinary ACR. Definition of hypertension includes the use of anti-hypertensive medications. Abbreviations: SCr serum creatinine, ACR albumin to creatinine ratio
