Kaplan-Meier estimates of event rate for doubling serum creatinine (DsCr) or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) stratified by quartiles. (A) Baseline urine albumin creatinine (Alb:Cr) ratio. The hazard ratio (HR) for each quartile was calculated and compared with that of the patients with the lowest values, who are in the reference quartile with a HR of 1.0. (—), Reference value Alb:Cr ratio>2.6 or>4.4 g protein/24 hours; (—), Alb:Cr ratio of 1.2 to 2.6 or 2.4 to 4.4 g protein/24 hours; (—), Alb:Cr ratio of 0.56 to 1.1 or 1.3 to 2.3 g protein/24 hours; (···), Alb:Cr ratio of <0.56 or <1.3 g protein/24 hours. (B) Baseline serum creatinine. The HR for each quartile was calculated and compared with that of the patients with the lowest values, who are in the reference quartile with a HR of 1.0. (—), Reference value of serum creatinine>2.1 mg/dL; (—), serum creatinine 1.8 to 2.1 mg/dL; (—), serum creatinine 1.5 to 1.7 mg/dL; (···), serum creatinine <1.5 mg/dL). (C) Baseline serum albumin. The HR for each quartile was calculated and compared with that of the patients with the highest values, who are in the reference quartile with a HR of 1.0. (···), Reference value of serum albumin <3.6 g/dL; (—), serum albumin 3.6 to 3.8 g/dL; (—), serum albumin 3.9 to 4.0 g/dL; (—) serum albumin>4.0 g/dL. (D) Baseline hemoglobin. The HR for each quartile was calculated and compared with that of the patients with the highest values, who are in the reference quartile with a HR of 1.0. (···), Reference value of hemoglobin <11.2 g/dL; (—), hemoglobin 12.4 to 11.2 g/dL; (—), hemoglobin 13.8 to 12.5 g/dL; (—), hemoglobin>13.8 g/dL.
