Biochemical and clinical characteristics.

Data are presented as median (25th, 75th percentiles) or number of subjects (percentage) for the overall study population, as well as stratified by tertiles of renal cortical triglyceride content.
* eGFR was calculated using the CKD-EPI formula, http://www.kidney.org/professionals/kdoqi/gfr_calculator.cfm.
†Lipid values were available for 34 of the 54 study participants (13, 10 and 11 respectively in the 3 tertiles).
‡Antidyslipidemic medications included statins in 11 patients, statin combined with cholesterol absorption inhibitor in 1 patient, and fibrate in 1 patient.
