Normal distribution was measured by K-S test. Subsequent analysis between groups were completed by LSD t-test. Variances between DN and MN were analyzed by t-test. χ2 test was used to compare categorical variables. DM course, course of diabetes mellitus; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; Ghb, glycosylated hemoglobin; 24h-pro, 24-h urine protein; Cr, creatinine; Alb, serum albumin. BMI, body mass index.
