"Primary: Measures of renal function - albumin excretion rate (AER) - creatinine clearance (CrC) - estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) - serum creatinine (SCr) Secondary: weight, blood pressure"
"SS and p values reported BG only Reductions in weight and blood pressure were BG NSS. Over time, SCr increased in both groups while eGFR, CrCl and AER decreased, BG NSS."

"E-matched, hypocaloric LC and HC diets had similar effects on markers for renal function in people with T2D without diabetic kidney disease over 12 months. ""...consumption of a LC weight loss diet does not adversely affect renal function in such populations. Longer-term follow-up studies are required..."""
