  1. Data expressed as mean ± SD, p < 0.05 was set as the significance level, and significant differences between groups are shown in bold
  2. eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate, low-frequency (500 and 1000 Hz), mid-frequency (2000 and 3000 Hz), and high-frequency (4000 and 6000 Hz) ranges. β unstandardized coefficient, SE standard error
