In the younger patient population, older age [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.031, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.014–1.051, p = 0.000], combined diabetes mellitus (HR = 1.532, 95% CI: 1.074–2.166, p = 0.018), lower albumin levels (HR = 0.966, 95% CI: 0.939–0.995, p = 0.020), lower serum phosphorus levels (HR = 0.757, 95% CI: 0.573–0.999, p = 0.000), higher eGFR levels at baseline (HR = 1.058, 95% CI: 1.031–1.085, p = 0.000), and cardiac function graded as class III-IV (HR = 1.775, 95% CI: 1.021–2.624, p = 0.004) were independent risk factors for death. The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
