BMI: body mass index, UNa: urinary sodium excretion, UNa-BW: urinary sodium excretion adjusted by body weight, Na/Cr: urinary sodium to creatinine ratio, UK: urinary potassium excretion, K/Cr: urinary potassium to creatinine ratio, eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate in mL/min/1.73 m2. ♯Urinary osmolality was calculated excluding participants under diuretics drugs (n=2), as follows: 2[Na(mmol) + K(mmol)] + urea(mg/dL)/2.8. values are for comparisons within each column and represent the results of contrasting two categories (sex, blood pressure status and eGFR) or trend when more than two categories were represented (BMI and age): ;;;.
