is considered statistically significant in the univariable linear analyses. Data of fasting glucose, CRP, iPTH, and OPN levels showed skewed distribution and therefore were log-transformed before analysis. BUN, blood urea nitrogen; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; GFR, glomerular filtration rate; CRP, C-reactive protein; Ca × P product, calcium-phosphorus product; iPTH, intact parathyroid hormone; OPN, osteopontin. |
