Subsequent multivariable logistic regression analysis with adjustment for covariates as well as a stepwise forward selection procedure revealed that the 8733T-->C polymorphism of ALOX5AP (rs3803278), the C-->T (Ser532Leu) polymorphism of IRAK1 (rs1059703), and the 2445G-->A (Ala54Thr) polymorphism of FABP2 (rs1799883) were significantly (P<0.05) associated with the prevalence of CKD.
