ALB and heart failure: CysC >0.93 mg/dL is associated with heart failure (4.357, 1.132-10.874), but adjusted by age, prevalence of severe pneumonia, as well as serum levels of albumin, glucose, and log NT-proBNP, the association between CysC >0.93 mg/dL and heart failure was not significant in the non-T2DM group (Figure 1).
