Data are shown as the mean ± SD or median (interquartile range). The Wilcoxon test was used for the skewed distributed variables. χ2 test was used to determine proportions of the categorical variables. values < 0.05 are shown in bold. DKD: diabetic kidney disease. BMI: body mass index. SP: systolic blood pressure. DP: diastolic blood pressure. MA: microalbuminuria. eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate. TC: total cholesterol. TG: total triglycerides.
