Inverse Association between T50 Calciprotein Crystallization (Serum Calcification Propensity) and Carotid Artery Intima-Media Thickness in Health Examinees with a Reduced Kidney Function.

Although fetuin-A was found to be positively associated with IMT (β = 0.156, P = 0.019), the association between T50 and IMT was not significant in any model. Subgroup Analyses Stratified by the Kidney Function In all of the above models, the interaction term between T50 and reduced eGFR was nearly significant (P = 0.063, 0.058, 0.058, and 0.064 for models 1 through 4, respectively), suggesting a potential effect modification by the eGFR.
