ALB and chronic kidney disease: Moreover, CKD caused by polycystic kidney (compared to glomerulonephritis, OR=2.647, 95% CI=0.996-7.038, p=0.049), eGFR < 30 ml/min/1.73 m^2 (OR=5.487, 95% CI=2.946-10.218, p<0.001), baseline anemia (OR=1.904, 95% CI=1.279-2.836, p=0.002), and albumin < 30 g/L (OR=1.919, 95% CI=1.220-3.019, p=0.005) were also identified as risk factors for progression to ESRD in CKD patients.
