    Incidence of fenofibrate-associated nephrotoxicity. Any renal disease includes patients with CKD (n = 29), obstructive nephropathy (n = 1), IgA nephropathy (n = 1), renal cancer (n = 1), nephrolithiasis (n = 1), membranous glomerulonephritis (n = 2), previous nephrectomy (n = 2), and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (n = 2). ∗P < .05 for all comparisons.
