The standardized regression coefficient β represents the difference in eGFR (in ml/min/1.73 m²), lnUAE (in mg/24 h), LGI (in SD) or ED (in SD) per 1 SD increase in lnMMP-1, -2, -3, -9, and -10 and lnTIMP-1

MMP matrix metalloproteinase, TIMP-1 tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1

Model 1 adjusted for age, sex, HbA1c, nephropathy-no nephropathy status and duration of diabetes

Model 2 Model 1 + MAP, BMI, smoking status, total cholesterol, use of antihypertensive agents and continuation of medication use at baseline
