Results are expressed as mean ± S.D or n (%). CKD, chronic kidney disease; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; BMI, body mass index; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate. Mann–Whitney U analysis or χ2 analysis (or Fisher’s exact test when needed) was used. #P < 0.20; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001 compared with control groups of total non-CKD subjects, ††non-CKD subjects with SBP of 130–159 mmHg, and †††non-CKD subjects with DBP of 80–89 mmHg.
