ALB and chronic kidney disease: The logistic regression analysis of the association between blood and urinary Cd and CKD and ALB adjusted for age, gender, race/ethnicity and BMI showed a significant association between blood Cd levels > 1 mcg/L and both CKD (OR 1.48, 95% CI 1.01, 2.17) (P = 0.046) and ALB (OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.10, 1.82) (P = 0.007); a significant association was also found between urinary Cd levels > 1 mcg/g and ALB (OR 1.63, 95% CI 1.23, 2.16) (P = 0.001) but not CKD (OR 0.70, 95% CI 0.47, 1.04) (P = 0.079).
