Likewise, we found that htTLV ≥ 1,600 mL/m was associated with a 5-fold increased risk for pressure-related symptoms (OR 4.98, 95% CI: 1.07–23.26), but not with pain nor GI symptoms, after adjusting for age, gender, Log (htTKV), CKD stages, albumin, total cholesterol, AST, and ALP levels (Table 4). Here, ALB is linked to chronic kidney disease.
