  1. Mean ± SD or absolute frequency (percentage). Patients’ baseline missing data: duration of diabetes 18 (3.1%), BMI 108 (18.6%), serum uric acid 225 (38.7%), HbA1c 5 (0.9%), total cholesterol 41 (7.0%), triglycerides 48 (8.2%), HDL 50 (8.6%), LDL 53 (9.1%), blood pressure 116 (19.9%), smokers 337 (57.9%)
  2. eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate, BMI body mass index, HbA1c glycated haemoglobin, HDL high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, ACE-Is angiotensin converting enzyme-inhibitors, ARBs angiotensin II receptor antagonists
  3. The P value refers to the effect of each variable on 4-year eGFR reduction > 30% at logistic regression analysis adjusted for baseline eGFR
