Table 1. Demographics and clinical characteristics.
Values are presented as Median (Q1, Q3) unless indicated otherwise. Units are reported as (mg/dL) unless otherwise indicated. eGFR values were calculated using the MDRD equation. Each patient taking a blood pressure, lipid, or diabetes medication was taking at least one but may be taking multiple medications.
