  1. CI, confidence interval; BMI, body mass index; MBP, mean blood pressure; CHOL, total cholesterol; CRP, C-reactive protein; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; UPCR, urine protein-to-creatinine ratio.
  2. P < 0.05 indicates a significantly associated with pyuria.
