However, on multivariate logistic regression analysis, adjusted for age, sex, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, use of lipid-lowering agents, mean BP, waist-hip ratio, eGFR, calcium, phosphate, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, PTH, and 24-hour urine protein, UA showed no association with CAC > 0 (OR 1.00, 95 % CI 0.91–1.09, P = 0.953). Here, PTH is linked to coronary artery disorder.
