Figure 3.

Change of 24-hour urine albumin excretion after low-salt diet education expressed by mean of the change in albuminuria between 8 and 16 weeks. (A) Recipients in the intensive low-salt diet education group displayed a larger decrease in urinary albumin excretion than those in the conventional education group (change in albuminuria, −154.0 versus 0.4 mg/d expressed by mean±SD; P=0.01). (B) The subgroup analysis according to the decrement of urinary sodium excretion after randomization. The Na reduction ≥25% group exhibited a marked reduction of urinary albumin excretion (change in albuminuria, −221.8 versus 15.2 mg/d expressed by mean±SD; P<0.001).
