  1. P-values in bold denote significance at the 0.05 level
  2. Models were fit using the GEE procedure with the normal distribution, identity link and exchangeable correlation specifications, unless noted otherwise
  3. Models were adjusted for age, sex and eGFR
  4. aOnly the urine concentrations unadjusted for creatinine were used since these variables are also adjusted for creatinine
  5. bLog transformations were taken for all urine biomarkers as well as Uox, PTOx, Calcium/Cr and Citrate/Cr
  6. Units of measure are Clusterin: ng/ml and μg/g Cr; NGAL: ng/ml and ng/g Cr; 8 IP: pg/ml and ng/g Cr; MCP1: pg/ml and pg/g Cr; L-FABP: ng/ml and μg/g Cr; OPN: ng/ml and μg/g Cr; H-FABP: pg/ml and ng/g Cr
