However, an interesting pattern of results could be observed: Regarding the effect sizes of the coefficients in the CKD/pre-KT group, there were a number of medium (r = 0.3–0.49) to large (r ≥ 0.5) effects, which indicate relations of depressive coping, active coping and trivializing/wishful thinking to S-creatinine, as well as, in part, to CRP (Table 4); this pattern of results was not identified in the CKD-T patients. Here, CRP is linked to chronic kidney disease.
