The prevalence of IR, HOMA-IR, the concentration of FPG, FINS, 2hPG, 2hINS, BUN, Scr, iPTH and CRP, the level of SBP, the prevalence of hypertension in CKD patients with LVH were higher than those without LVH; contrastively, eGFR, the concentrations of Hb and Tch in CKD patients with LVH were lower than those without LVH (P < 0.05, respectively, Table 4). Here, GSTM1 is linked to hypertensive disorder.
