eGFR < 60ml/min per 1.73m2

All GFR, CrCl units are ml/min, and eGFR units are ml/min per 1.73m2

The study population was mostly non-diabetic. Diabetics that did not require insulin therapy were allowed but only 26 of 840 participants had diabetic nephropathy.

††

Presumed hypertensive CKD. Patients were only included if they had hypertension, were non-diabetic, and had no other identified causes of renal dysfunction.

sCr – Serum Creatinine Concentration, UPCR – Urine protein-creatinine ratio, BP – blood pressure. SBP – systolic blood pressure, Int. – Intensive, Std. – Standard, Diff. – Difference. Mod. – Moderate, Med. – Median, IQR – inter-quartile range
