Note: all data are the mean ± standard deviation or frequencies (%). χ2 test; † Wilcoxon rank-sum test; ǂtwo independent sample t tests. LDL, low-density lipoprotein. TC, total cholesterol. TG, triglycerides. qRSN, quantitative classification of renal surface nodularity. A two-sided was considered statistically significant.
