Progression of CKD based on decline in eGFR <60 mL/min per 1.73 m2 and with decline ≥25%.

Urine biomarkers (AGT, KIM-1, and nephrin) were normalized for urine creatinine.

P values are calculated from χ2 tests or Fisher exact tests if expected cell counts were small for comparing categorial characteristics and Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney tests for comparing continuous characteristics across strata.
