  1. Data are presented as absolute and relative frequencies, no. (%), or means (SD).
  2. ALT alanine transaminase, AST aspartate transaminase, eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate.
  3. aeGFR was calculated using the MDRD formula following the recommendations of the National Kidney Disease Education Program.
  4. * p value refers to t test for difference in mean values, for quantitative variables, and to Chi square test for homogeneity of proportions, for categorical variables, between men and women.
