Table 1. Characteristics of the Plasmodium vivax malaria patients with elevated or normal creatinine levels.

Characteristic	Elevated Creatinine Levels	Normal Creatinine Levels	P-value
N	89	90
Women–no. (%)	47 (52.80)	32 (35.55)	0.0242
Age–y (IQR)	34 (22–49)	32 (25.75–42)	0.5475
Severe vivax–no. (%)	15 (16.85)	3 (3.33)	0.0027
Hospitalized–no (%)	14 (15.73)	1 (1.11)	0.0003
Nonsurvivors–no. (%)	6 (6.74)	0 (0)	0.0138
Parasitemia–count/μL (IQR)	6453 (1234–49844)	6324 (851–72985)	0.9055

Frequency data were compared using the exact Fisher’s test, while continuous variables (age and parasitemia) were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. Subjects were classified as having elevated creatinine levels if serum creatinine values were above 1.24mg/dL for women, and 1.29mg/dL for men.
