ALB and carpal tunnel syndrome: Analysis B showed that HD duration (OR: 1.197, 95% CI: 1.132–1.265, p < .001), nPCR (OR: 3.862, 95% CI: 1.530–9.751, p = .004), hypoalbuminemia (albumin <4 g/dL; OR: 2.187, 95% CI: 1.269–3.768, p = .005), high-normal BLLs (OR: 4.839, 95% CI: 2.262–10.351, p < .001) with low-normal BLL as a reference, and high BLLs (OR: 12.952, 95% CI: 5.391–31.119, p < .001) with low-normal BLL as a reference were positively associated with CTS (Table 5).
