Associations of EGFR with carotid intima-media thickness and plaque (per 1 SD increase in eGFR) in all, black and white patients with RA.

Data were analyzed in BMI, Framingham score, ethnicity, deformed joints, CDAI, chloroquine, leflunomide, penicillamine, prednisone and non-steroidal antiinflammatory agent use adjusted linear or logistic regression models for cIMT and plaque, respectively.Significant relations are shown in bold.EGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate, SD = standard deviation, RA = rheumatoid arthritis, cIMT = carotid intima-media thickness, C-G = Cockcroft-Gault, AWB = actual body weight, IBW = ideal body weight, ADBW = adjusted body weight, LBW = lean body weight, NBW = no body Weight, MDRD = Modification of Diet in Renal Disease, CKD-EPI = Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration.Associations of EGFR with carotid intima-media thickness and plaque (per 1 SD increase in eGFR) in all, black and white patients with RA.
