Values are presented as median [range] or number (%). The data were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U test or Fisher’s exact test. ALT, alanine transaminase; AST, aspartate transaminase; BHBA, β-hydroxybutyrate; BMI, body mass index; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; OHA, oral hypoglycemic agent; Scr, serum creatinine; SGLT2i, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor
