Multivariate-adjusted linear regression analyses of albumin-creatinine ratio and angiopoietin-2a.

Note:aAlbuminuria (ACR) was natural logarithm transformed.bModel 1: Ang-2+age+gender.cModel 2: Model 1+traditional risk (hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, mean brachial SBP, eGFR) +nontraditional risk (Calcium phosphate product, hemoglobin, high sensitive C reactive protein, medication including ACE inhibitor, ARB, statin, calcium channel blocker, β-blocker, pentoxifylline).dModel 3: stepwise regression method for variables in model 2.Abbreviations: ACR, urine albumin-creatinine ratio; SBP, systolic blood pressure; ACE inhibitor, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor; ARB, angiotensin II receptor blocker.
