Data are shown as geometric means (SE). values were adjusted for age, gender, BMI, duration of diabetes, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and HbA1c. AA = major allele homozygous; Aa = heterozygous; aa = minor allele homozygous. (SE) was calculated for log10eGFR and refers to major alleles. AER: 24-hour urinary albumin excretion rate.
