Mean ± SD or median (25th percentile, 75th percentile) shown for continuous variables (normally distributed or non-normally distributed, respectively).
Frequency (percentage) shown for categorical variables.
GFR was calculated by the MDRD formula.
N1 = number of non-diabetic subjects
N2 = number of diabetic subjects
