All values are mean ± SD.
ACR, urine albumin/creatinine ratio; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate.
aFor no diuretics, n = 108; for loop and thiazide/thiazide-like diuretics, n = 13.
bFor no diuretics, n = 107; for loop diuretics only, n = 61; for thiazide/thiazide-like diuretics only, n = 51.
