Table 3 The renal outcome of the subjects according to their initial stratification of CKD (Severe renal failure = GFR < 30, Moderate renal failure = GFR 30-60, Kidney damage = GFR > 60 mL/min/1.73 m2and AER > 30 mg/24 H), and their mean kidney length.
From: Large kidneys predict poor renal outcome in subjects with diabetes and chronic kidney disease
