Patients were categorized based on urinary PCR, adhering to the Japanese chronic kidney disease (CKD) guideline cut-offs for CKD staging: A1 (&lt;0.15 g/gCr), A2 (0.15–0.49 g/gCr), and A3 (≥0.5 g/gCr).

Groups A2 and A3 were associated with lower hemoglobin levels, higher blood urea nitrogen and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels, and poor renal function. Moreover, groups A2 and A3 had high cystatin C, alpha 1 microglobulin, and urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) levels. Urinary PCR correlated more with tubular markers, alpha 1-microglobulin, and L-FABP than with the glomerular marker cystatin C. Over a median follow-up period of 434 (interquartile range: 89–753) days, 72 deaths occurred.
