  1. Values were presented as number (percent) or median (25th percentile-75th percentile). Kruskal–Wallis test or chi-square test was used to compare the values among groups. The last column represents the P-values from comparisons between group 1, 2 and 3.
  2. MAP mean arterial pressure, eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate, ESRD end stage renal disease.
