Table 3.
Comparison of the EMST scores in patients with proteinuria 0.5 ~ 1.0 g/24 h
| Variable | Without elevated urinary KIM-1/Cr (n = 19) | With elevated urinary KIM-1/Cr (n = 12) | P value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mesangial hypercellularity (M0/M1) |
17/2 |
8/4 |
0.174 |
| Segmental glomerulosclerosis (S0/S1) |
15/4 |
11/1 |
0.624 |
| Endocapillary hypercellularity (E0/E1) |
17/2 |
9/3 |
0.350 |
| Tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis (T0/T1/T2) | 19/0/0 | 9/3/0 | 0.049* |
*Being statistically significant. Since there was no patient with T2 in two groups, distribution of the variable of tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis was compared by chi-square test.
