CRP and chronic kidney disease: As seen in Table 2 and Figure 2, the adjusted OR was elevated 6.30 (CI 1.18–33.49, p < 0.05) among individuals who had C. trachomatis and a high CRP, but close to 1.0 (1.25 CI 1.00–1.75, p = 0.59) among individuals who had a history of C. trachomatis but reported low CRP after adjusting for demographic (smoking status, chronic kidney disease, CVD, diabetes, BMI, poverty–income ratio, age, marital status, ethnicity education status, and gender) and health variables (smoking status, chronic kidney disease, CVD, and diabetes).
