The changes in relative kidney weight and the levels of Creatinine and BUN

	Relative kidney weight	Creatinine (μmol/L)	BUN (mmol/L)
Control	8.32 ± 0.71	30.57 ± 6.95	9.99 ± 0.97
EGCG	8.46 ± 0.85	32.00 ± 4.43	10.16 ± 1.84
CP	8.85 ± 0.45a	178.86 ± 19.58a	82.76 ± 7.57a
CP+EGCG	8.42 ± 1.08b	63.71 ± 6.65b	29.29 ± 3.84b

Data are presented as means ± SD. Relative kidney weight is expressed as: left kidney weight/body weight * 1000.

^a p<0.05 versus control group;

^b p<0.05 versus CP group.
