  1. UACR, urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio; eGFR, glomerular filtration rate. MET, the use of metformin; SGLT2i, the use of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors; CRP, c-reactive protein; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. * p < 0.05
