a Data expressed as median and the minimum-maximum range is shown in brackets; b Applied test: Wilcoxon test; c Data expressed as mean ± standard deviation; d Applied test: t-test for paired data. Values of p ≤ 0.05 are considered statistically significant. Abbreviations: e-GFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; TC, total cholesterol; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; ns, not significant; PTH, parathyroid hormone.
