ALB and liver dysplastic nodule: Lower serum ALB [HR (95% CI): 0.685 (0.559–0.839), p < 0.001], 24 h proteinuria [HR (95% CI): 0.999 (0.999–1.000), p = 0.006], and increased SBP [HR (95% CI): 1.047 (1.006–1.089), p = 0.024] and age [HR (95% CI): 0.890 (0.802–0.988), p = 0.028] were determined to be important contributors to adverse kidney outcomes in the DN group by multivariate Cox regression analysis (Table 4).
