Statistic differences between the groups of low, low-average (Cr-MTC <11 mL/min, range 4.3–10.9) and high, high-average (Cr-MTC ≥11 mL/min, range 11.3–18.3) peritoneal transporters. R.U. mRNA relative units. Values represent mean ± SD for median clinical parameters or mean ± SE for experimental data.
