Oxidized LDL Is Associated with eGFR Decline in Proteinuric Diabetic Kidney Disease: A Cohort Study

Table 2

Cox proportional hazard analysis (forward stepwise regression) showing predictors for the combined end-point in DKD patients.

All-cause mortality or reduction of or progression to ESKD
		HR	95% CI
Model 1
	1.23	3.42	1.55-7.56	0.002
Model 2
	1.05	2.87	1.14-7.20	0.025
Baseline eGFR	-0.026	0.98	0.96-0.99	0.013

EGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; ESKD: end-stage kidney disease; HR: hazard ratio, CI: confidence interval; Ox-LDL: oxidized low-density lipoprotein; UPCR: urinary protein to creatinine ratio. Model 1: univariate model; model 2: multivariate model adjusted for baseline UPCR and eGFR, serum albumin, and triglycerides.
