DM (r = 0.146; p = 0.041), HTN (r = 0.160; p = 0.025), cfPWV (r = 0.212; p = 0.003), log-glucose (r = 0.161; p = 0.024), and peritoneal Kt/V (r = 0.146; p = 0.041) were positively correlated with galectin-3, which was noted from the simple linear regression analysis. Here, LGALS3 is linked to hypertensive disorder.
