CKM and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: Multivariable ordinal logistic regression demonstrated that NAFLD was independently associated with CKM stage progression (odds ratio [OR] = 2.01, 95 % CI: 1.84–2.20, P < 0.001) and higher CKD risk classification (OR = 1.29, 95 % CI: 1.09–1.52, P = 0.002) (Table 3).
