After introducing the patients with DM or not, iPTH, Alb, hsCRP, Kt/V, and URR values into the forward multivariate conditional logistic regression model, we identified that reduced iPTH (HR: 0.983; P = 0.026) and Alb (HR: 0.099; P = 0.047) levels and elevated hsCRP levels (HR: 1.210; P = 0.024) were risk factors for APD (Table 3). This evidence concerns the gene ALB and diabetes mellitus.
