  • Adjusted for age, gender, duration of Type 2 diabetes, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, fast plasma glucose, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol.

  • cfDNA, cell-free DNA; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; UACR, urinary albumin–creatinine ratio.
