Figure Lengend Snippet: Hazard ratios (HRs) represented per two-fold higher concentrations of FGF23. FGF23 concentrations presented after log transformation. Model is adjusted for age, gender, site, education, race, body mass index (BMI), history of myocardial infarction (MI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), prevalent diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD), hypertension (HTN) medications, smoking, albumin, C-reactive protein concentrations, statin use, total cholesterol, calcium, phosphate, PTH, estimated glomerular filtration pressure (eGFR) and urine albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR).
Article Snippet: Exposure The primary exposure was the plasma intact FGF23 concentration, measured using specimens thawed for the first time (Kainos Laboratories Tokyo, Japan).
Techniques: Transformation Assay, Medications, Filtration
