Data are expressed as mean ± SD.
Abbreviations: BUN = blood urine nitrogen; Ualb-cre ratio = urine albumin to urine creatinine ratio; TP(u)-cre ratio = urine total protein to urine creatinine ratio; Ccr = creatinine clearance rate.
Letters (a,b) indicate significant difference (at 0.05 level) by Wilcoxon's signed-rank test with multiple comparison procedure.
