DKD and related traits in patients with T2DM based on different serum sCD28 levels. Comparison of (a) DKD occurrence (), (b) eGFR (), (c) serum creatinine (), and (d) urinary albuminuria excretion rate () based on the serum sCD28 tertiles: low sCD28 (0.00-0.48 ng/mL), middle sCD28 (0.49-0.87 ng/mL), and high sCD28 (0.87-5.65 ng/mL). values were determined using logistic regression to test dose-response relationships for different traits according to serum sCD28 tertiles.
