Fig 2. VEGF concentration in hypertension.

Fig 2

Hypertension was associated with increased serum levels of VEGF (Mann- Whitney U test; p = 0.02). The data are presented as medians (symbols inside the boxes), 25–75% percentiles (boundaries of the boxes) and minimum—maximum (error bars outside the boxes). Statistical significance (p<0.05) is marked with “*” (A). Concentration of VEGF was in positive correlation (Spearman’s rank correlation) with systolic blood pressure (B; R = 0,337, p = 3x10-3), CRP (C; R = 0.265, p = 0.02), serum creatinine (D; R = 0.253, p = 0.03) and in negative correlation with glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (E; R = -0.24, p = 0.04). Correlations were calculated for both- hypertensive and healthy individuals together.
