Multivariate linear mixed models effects of uPCR with biomarkers
| Estimate SE | p Value | |
|---|---|---|
| Intercept | 1.4±1.2 | 0.228 |
| EC4d (log net MFI) | 0.8±0.2 | <0.001 |
| ECR1 (log net MFI) | −0.6±0.2 | 0.019 |
| C3 (mg/dL) | −0.01±0.01 | 0.280 |
| C4 (mg/dL) | −0.01±0.03 | 0.686 |
Intercept and estimates for each of the marker with p values are given. For example, a one-unit decrease in log EC4d was associated with a 0.8±0.2-unit decrease in uPCR, while a one-unit increase in log ECR1 was associated with a 0.6±0.2-unit decrease in uPCR. C3 and C4 levels were not associated with the change in uPCR after adjusting for EC4d and ECR1 levels.
MFI, mean fluorescent intensity; uPCR, urinary protein to creatinine ratio.
