BUN: blood urea nitrogen; DKD: diabetic kidney disease; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; FBG: fasting blood glucose; Hb: hemoglobin; HbA1c: hemoglobin A1c; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; IFTA: interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; RAAS: renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system; Scr: serum creatinine; TG: triglyceride; uACR: urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio. The continuous data were expressed as mean ± SD or median and IQR as appropriate.
