Data was shown as n(%) or mean ± SD; HTN-NO-VC: hypertensive subjects without vascular calcification; HTN-VC: hypertensive subjects with vascular calcification; S: serum; U: urine; 24 h-SBP: mean systolic blood pressure of 24-hours ambulatory blood pressure monitoring; 24 h-DBP: mean diastolic blood pressure; 24-hours ambulatory blood pressure monitoring; LDL: low density lipoprotein; HDL: high density lipoprotein; ACR: albuminecreatinine rate; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate.
