All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software (version 19.0; Chicago, IL, USA). Baseline data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (SD). A paired-samples t-test was used to compare variables with a normal distribution between the two groups with respect to serum calcium and serum inorganic phosphorus levels. A p value < 0.05 was considered significant.
