Data were expressed as mean±SD. P values of age, RBC, Hb, HCT, TP, ALB, BUN, Scr, and eGFR were assessed using two-tailed unpaired t test with Welch correlation; P value of SBP, DBP, and GLO were assessed using two-tailed unpaired t test. SBP, systolic BP; DBP, diastolic BP; RBC, red blood cell; Hb, hemoglobin; HCT, hematocrit; TP, total serum protein; ALB, serum albumin; GLO, serum globulin; Scr, serum creatinine.
