sqrt – square root-transformation; RS – renal sinus; SC – subcutaneous adipose tissue; IP – intraperitoneal adipose tissue; RP – retroperitoneal adipose tissue; RSRatio - ratio of RS adipose tissue volume to corresponding total kidney size; BMI – body mass index; WC – waist circumference; SBP - systolic blood pressure; DBP – diastolic blood pressure; eGFREPI cyst&crea – estimated glomerular filtration rate; sKIM-1 – serum kidney injury molecule-1; FGF-21 – fibroblast growth factor – 21; TG – triglycerides; HDLC – high density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDLC - low density lipoprotein cholesterol; IL-6 – interleukin 6; TNFα - tumor necrosis factor alpha. The level of significance was set as p < 0.05.
