Table 4 OR of high-normal L-FABP levels (Q5) associated with CVD risk factors among non-CKD participants

From: Relationship of urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein with cardiovascular risk factors in the Japanese population without chronic kidney disease: Sasayama study

  1. Non-CKD: normoalbuminuria and normal eGFR
  2. Hypertension: systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg and/or prescription of medication for hypertension. Diabetes mellitus: fasting blood glucose levels ≥126 mg/dL or non-fasting blood glucose levels ≥200 mg/dL and/or HbA1c ≥ 6.5% and/or prescription of medication for diabetes mellitus. Dyslipidemia: LDL-C levels ≥140 mg/dL and/or HDL-C levels < 40 mg/dL and/or non-HDL cholesterol levels ≥170 mg/dL and/or fasting triglyceride levels ≥150 mg/dL and/or prescription of medication for dyslipidemia
  3. UACR: urinary albumine to creatinine ratio (mg/gCre). Albuminuria: UACR ≥30 mg/gCre. Low eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Heavy drinker: ≥46 g ethanol/day
