The PAS group exhibited a significantly older age (p = 0.011), higher prevalence of diabetes (p = 0.010), systolic blood pressure (p = 0.019), levels of serum fasting glucose (p = 0.003), blood urea nitrogen (p = 0.024), creatinine (p = 0.004), C-reactive protein (p = 0.007), OC (p = 0.002), and lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (p = 0.004) than the non-PAS group. Here, CRP is linked to diabetes mellitus.
