Data presented as mean ± SD, median [interquartile range], or proportion of total population (%) as appropriate. Diuretic use was an exclusion criterion for participation in the water deprivation tests. Maximal urine-concentrating capacity was defined as the plateau of highest urine osmolality that was reached after a prolonged water deprivation test. Urine urea was measured in an early morning fasting void. Protein intake was estimated in grams with the following equation: (urine urea excretion in 24 h×0.4667×0.06+[0.031× weight])×6.25 (37). Salt intake was estimated with the following equation: sodium excretion in moles×(sum of molecular mass of sodium and chloride in grams per mole).
