Nine factors showed significant odds ratios: eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m<sup>2</sup> (OR = 4.10), hypertriglyceridemia (OR = 1.88), obesity (OR = 1.75), heart failure (1.70), CRP > 3.0 mg/dL (OR = 1.64), coronary artery disease (OR = 1.30), use of loop-diuretics (OR = 4.20), hydrochlorothiazide (OR = 2.96), and thiazide-like diuretics (OR = 2.81). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is heart failure.
