aThe models were adjusted for age, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, smoking habit, hemoglobin, albumin, uric acid, fasting plasma glucose, hematuria and proteinuria at baseline. Hematuria and proteinuria (1+ or more) were evaluated by the dipstick method.

eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides. AIC, Akaike's information criterion; CI, confidence interval; SE, standard error.
