Figure 4. Specific blood markers correlate with clinical symptoms in MCTD patients.

Figure 4

Laboratory tests performed in MCTD subjects are displayed on the “y” axis while clinical manifestations exhibit in this patient population are on the “x” axis. The white, blue and red boxes indicate significant correlations, significant correlations after Bonferroni corrections and no correlations, respectively (p ≤ 0.05). Proteinuria, hematuria and cellular casts; stroke; venous clot; lung disease; synovitis; symmetric swelling of the joints; observed proximal muscle weakness and calcinosis were initially considered for the correlations but not included in the final analyses given the reduced sample size available in the MCTD cohort for these variables.
