Basic metabolic panel.
| Baseline | 1 Year | Reference Range | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glucose mg/dL | 90 ± 11 | 95 ± 6 | 65–99 |
| BUN mg/dL | 19 ± 5 | 19 ± 4 | 7–25 |
| Creatinine mg/dL | 0.89 ± 0.14 | 0.85 ± 0.07 | 0.60–1.35 |
| eGFR | 85 ± 13 | 89 ± 11 | ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 |
| BUN/Creatinine ratio | 22 ± 6 | 23 ± 4 | 6–22 |
| Sodium mmol/L | 139 ± 1 | 139 ± 2 | 135–146 |
| Potassium mmol/L | 4.5 ± 0.3 | 4.2 ± 0.3 | 3.5–5.3 |
| Chloride mmol/L | 105 ± 2 | 105 ± 2 | 98–110 |

| Calcium mg/dL | 9.2 ± 0.3 | 9.2 ± 0.3 | 8.6–10.3 |
Data are mean ± SD. Only a small group of subjects (n = 7) agreed to having their blood analyzed. There were no differences between baseline and 1 year. Legend: BUN—blood urea nitrogen; dL—deciliter; eGFR—estimated glomerular filtration rate; L—liter; mg—milligram; mmol—millimole.
