Figure 8.
There was a statistically significant association between the change in NAA concentration with the change in serum CRP levels from the start of dialysis to the last 60 minutes of dialysis (P = 0.043). A greater decrease in NAA concentration during hemodialysis was significantly associated with a greater increase in serum CRP levels (r=−0.55). The linear regression (solid line) with 95% confidence intervals (dotted lines) is plotted. CRP, C-reactive protein; NAA, N-acetyl aspartate.
