1.48 (1.08–2.00)

  1. Abbreviations: mGFR measured glomerular filtration rate by Iothalamate, eGFRcr creatinine estimated glomerular filtration rate, eGFRcys by CKD-EPI equation. All models are adjusted for urine protein, sex, age, race, BMI; body mass index and albumin quartiles and group randomization by diet and blood pressure assignment. All GFR measures are per 10 ml/min/1.73 m2
