Changes in Liver and kidney function indicators.

Items	Study group (n=47)	Control group (n=38)	P value
Δ ALT (U/L)	-4 (-10, 1)	-8 (-20, 1.75)	0.725
Δ AST (U/L)	-1 (-10, 3)	-7.5 (-18.25, 1.25)	0.091
Δ BUN (mmol/L)	0.46 ± 1.46	0.15 ± 1.28	0.332
Δ CRE (µmol/L)	3.03 ± 13.38	-1.32 ± 7.18	0.203
Δ UAER(µg/min)	-4.83 ± 20.76	-3.19 ± 10.41	0.856

Data were expressed as mean± standard deviation and median (interquartile range).

UAER, urinary albumin excretion rates, CRE: creatinine; BUN, Blood urea nitrogen; AST, Aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, Alanine transaminase.

Δ = (endpoint level) - (baseline level).
