  1. Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation, unit of anamnestic data is the number of observations
  2. eGFR Estimated glomerular filtration rate, HbA1C Glycated hemoglobin
  3. aExcluding the measurement of study subjects, who had any condition leading to chromogranin A elevation [3, 4, 7]. Remaining number of observations was 64 and 43, respectively
