Spearman rank-order pairwise correlation between age, BMI, N_glom, V_glom, hypertension and the structural features of hypertensive nephropathy.

Within the cells, the upper number is the Spearman correlation coefficient and the lower number is the P-value. For P < 0.05, there is a significant relationship between the two variables. Variables with significant relationships are indicated in bold.

BMI, body mass index; GS, glomerulosclerosis; CF, cortical fibrosis; It, arterial intimal thickening; HTN, hypertension.
