(age, sex(female/male), Current smoker(N/Y), Alcohol intake(N/Y), ALB, LDL-C, Cholesterol, Hemoglobin, Ca, P, eGFR were adjusted to analysis the relationship between LVMI and 24h-BP (model 1) and the relationship between LVMI and BP load (model 2); Age, sex(female/male), Current smoker(N/Y), Alcohol intake(N/Y), ALB, eGFR, BMI were adjusted to analysis the relationship between cIMT and 24h-BP (model 1) and the relationship between cIMT and BP load (model 2); Age, sex(female/male), Current smoker(N/Y), Alcohol intake(N/Y), ALB, LDL-C, Cholesterol, Hemoglobin, Ca, P were adjusted to analysis the relationship between eGFR and 24h-BP (model 1) and the relationship between eGFR and BP load (model 2); Age, sex(female/male), Current smoker(N/Y), Alcohol intake(N/Y), LDL-C were were adjusted to analysis the relationship between proteinuria and 24h-BP (model 1) and the relationship between proteinuria and BP load (model 2). Model 3 include the aforementioned covariables and both 24h-BP and BP load which p<0.05 in model 1 and model 2. R2 and P value indicates the R2 change and significance respectively comparing the model including the 24-h BP (p<0.05 in model 1) and covariables and a model additionally including BP load (p<0.05 in model 2).

(BMI: body mass index; CI, confidence interval; CIMT: carotid intima-media thickness; DM: diabetes mellitus; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; Lg(eGFR): Lg transformation for estimated glomerular filtration rate; Lg(Pro): Lg transformation for proteinuria; iPTH: intact parathyroid hormone; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LVMI: left ventricular mass index.)
