The univariate analysis demonstrated that age, diabetes, hypertension, C-peptide levels, uric acid levels, eGFRs, TC levels, triglyceride (TG) levels, ALT levels, bilirubin (t) levels, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP) levels and INRs were associated with baseline RBP4 levels, whereas the multivariate analysis confirmed that the baseline eGFRs, TC levels and INRs were independently associated with the baseline RBP4 levels. This evidence concerns the gene RBP4 and Hypertension.
