  1. Detailed legend: Multiple modeling of the associations between end-stage renal disease and erythrocyte concentrations of lead and mercury, taking into consideration the covariates at baseline that either were statistically significant or changed any of the metal estimates.
  2. OR=odds ratio for a unit increase. CI=confidence interval. IQR= interquartile range. ORIQR=odds ratio for an interquartile range increase. BMI=Body Mass Index.
  3. aHypertension was defined as SBP >140 or DBP > 90 mm Hg, or antihypertensive medication at baseline.
