After adjusting for factors that showed association with arterial stiffness (DM, hypertension, age, aortic SBP, brachial SBP, glucose, CRP, and suPAR from Table 1), suPAR (odds ratio [OR]: 2.05; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.58–2.70, p < 0.001), age (OR = 1.04; 95% CI 1.00–1.08, p = 0.046), and glucose (OR = 1.01; 95% CI 1.00–1.02, p = 0.007) predicted arterial stiffness in chronic HD patients after multivariable logistic regression analysis (Table 2). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
