2 Figure 1 Serum anti-oxidized low-density lipoprotein (anti-oxLDL) antibody titer in the cohort of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Serum anti-oxLDL antibody at baseline showed a skewed distribution with a median of 320 mU/mL (range 103 to 1558 mU/mL; N = 249).

3 Figure 2 Anti-oxLDL antibody at baseline and mortality. The cohort of 249 patients with ESRD was divided into two groups according to serum titer of anti-oxLDL antibody titer, and mortality rates were compared by the Kaplan-Meier method followed by log-rank test. Those with a higher titer showed a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular mortality.
