Creatinine levels and estimated value of the glomerular filtration rates (GFR) at baseline and after the treatment, according to baseline body mass index (BMI)
| Parameter | Normal BMI group | Overweight group | P | Obese group | P | P1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Baseline | 85.6 ± 0.4 | 85.7 ± 0.3 | NS | 88.1 ± 0.3 | 0.0001 | 0.0001 |
| 3 months | 80.3 ± 0.6 | 81.2 ± 0.3 | NS | 83.9 ± 0.4 | 0.0038 | 0.0001 |
| GFR (CKD-EPI), ml/min/1.73 m2 | ||||||
| Baseline | 73.9 ± 2.7 | 74.3 ± 1.5 | NS | 69.4 ± 0.9 | 0.0001 | 0.0001 |
