T2DM = type 2 diabetes mellitus; control = without diabetes mellitus. Data are presented as (%), , or median (interquartile range) as appropriate. BMI = body mass index; TC = total cholesterol; TG = triglyceride; SCr = serum creatinine; eGFR = estimated glomerular filtrations rate; UA = uric acid; BUN = blood urea nitrogen. Significance: compared with control.
