Fig. 5From: Characteristics of lipid metabolism including serum apolipoprotein M levels in patients with primary nephrotic syndrome a, b Correlation between serum levels of apoM levels and proteinuria. c, d Correlation between serum levels of proteinuria and routine serum lipids. There was a negative correlation between proteinuria and serum apoM levels: (a) the PNS with hyperlipidemia group (r = −0.269; P < 0.05), (b) the PNS without hyperlipidemia group (r = −0.414; P < 0.05), (c) the PNS with hyperlipidemia group (r = 0.269; P < 0.05), (d) the PNS without hyperlipidemia group (r = −0.354; P < 0.05)Back to article page
