*uNAG and uACR were log-transformed to achieve normal distribution for calculating Pearson correlation coefficients. Bold characters represent statistically significant values. Abbreviations: A1c, hemoglobin A1c; BMI, body mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; uNAG, urinary N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; uACR, urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio.
