BMI, body mass index; eGFR T0, estimated GFR assessed by the CKD-EPI formula at baseline; PU T0, Proteinuria assessed by protein to creatinine ratio at baseline; logCAF, serum CAF levels (log-transformed). GFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; SCreat, Serum creatinine; renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockade (RAAS-Block).
