Values are presented here as Mean (±SD), where, (*p < 0.05) = significant, (**p < 0.01) = highly significant, (***p < 0.001) = very highly significant as compared to the baseline and 1st follow-up data of different study groups. For study group 1- STV (n = 44) and for study group 2- PLC (n = 43). Data were analyzed by the Independent Sample T-test. Here, BMI= Body mass index, SBP= Systolic blood pressure, DBP = Diastolic blood pressure, FBS= Fasting blood sugar, PBS= Postprandial blood sugar, STP= Serum total protein, S. creatinine = Serum creatinine, S. uric acid = Serum uric acid, TCO2= Total CO2, UTP= Urinary total protein, ACR = Albumin: Creatinine; PCR= Protein: Creatinine; eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate.
