Data were spearman correlation coefficients. ; ; . BMI: body mass index; FPG: fasting plasma glucose; HbA1C: glycated hemoglobin; UACR: urinary albumin to creatinine ratio; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate. SCC: squamous cell carninoma antigen; Cyfra21-1: cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21–1; CEA: carcinoembryonic antigen.
