Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients between creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and trefoil factor 3 (TFF3) levels in patients (n = 19), including men (n = 10) and women (n = 9) one to two days, six months, and one year after kidney transplantation (R, rho, ρ; significance level p = 0.05).
