The univariable analysis identified the following factors as significantly related to a higher risk of death: higher stage of chronic kidney disease (>G2: HR = 2.08; p = 0.0153), low albumin levels (HR = 2.68; p = 0.0007), and high creatinine levels (HR = 2.04; p = 0.0182). The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is chronic kidney disease.
