Figure 4

The association of the LAVI, LVMI and E/E′ in patients based on a combination of fetuin-A and OPG. After adjusting for age, sex, duration of dialysis, mean BP, heart rate, body mass index, hemoglobin, smoking, medication for hypertension, medication for diabetes, medication for dyslipidemia and prior CAD, significant differences in the LAVI (a), LVMI (b), and E/E′ (c) were observed across the four groups (P<0.05). The combination of low fetuin-A and high OPG levels was significantly associated with a high LAVI, LVMI and E/E′. *P<0.05 vs. the high fetuin-A and low OPG group.
