Kidney functions, albuminuria and stages of CKD of the 1,521 Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes

CKD, chronic kidney disease; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; NA, not applicable.

^aGFR estimated by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) study equation, in the unit of mL/min/1.73 m², ^bCKD stages 1-2 were defined based on the level of kidney function and the presence of albuminuria; stages 3-4 were defined solely based on kidney function, ^cSubjects with eGFR below 15 mL/min/1.73 m² (CKD stage 5) receiving maintenance dialysis were excluded in this study.
