Redox Balance Correlates with Nutritional Status among Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease Treated with Maintenance Hemodialysis

Table 3

Differences between ESRD patients and controls assessed by logistic regression adjusted for sex, age, and CRP. Odds ratios (OR) for being in the study group are reported with 95% confidence intervals (CI).
