Correlation of urinary cytokines and symptoms scores of PBS/IC patient’s post-HD. a Symptom scores of PBS/IC patient skewed to higher sides at pre-HD stage. b Low symptom scores in PBS/IC patients post-HD showed linear correlation with urine levels of MCSF filled diamond (r = 0.88; p = 0.003), MCP-3 filled square (r = 0.81; p = 0.01), SDF1α filled triangle (r = 0.82; p = 0.01), and IL-18 filled circle (r = 0.64; p = 0.08)
