Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- changes in proteinuria [random urine protein/creatinine ratio every 2month and 24hour urine protein every 6month]
comparison of proteinuria amount checked by random urine protein/creatinine and 24hour urine protein
Secondary Outcome Measures
- changes in serum creatinine [serum creatinine every 2month]
comparison of renal function checked by serum creatinine and calculated renal function by MDRD equation
- changes in systolic blood pressure and diastolic pressure [check blood pressure at very first visit and every 2-month]
check systolic and diastolic blood pressure
- changes in urinary biomarkers (angiotensinogen, angiotensin II, TGF-beat, IL-6, MCP-1, TNF-alpha) [every 6month]
urine marker check every 6month
- changes in serum 25(OH)2D3, 1,25(OH)2D3, parathyroid hormone [every 6month]
serum marker check every 6month
- changes in serum inflammatory markers (hsCRP, IL-6) [every 6month]
serum marker check every 6month
