1. aComparison of change between placebo and Iranian propolis values after 90 days. bP < 0.05 for baseline versus after 90 days within the group. Data are mean ± standard deviation. BUN, blood urea nitrogen; Cr, creatinine; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; ALP, alkalin phosphatase.
