Fig. 3. Correlation of plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (pNGAL) and albuminuria (A) and cystatin C-based glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in patients with diabetes mellitus. Moderate correlation between plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (pNGAL) levels and the degree of albuminuria in patients with diabetes mellitus (r=0.467, P<0.001). (B) Moderate correlation between pNGAL levels and cystatin C-based glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in patients with diabetes mellitus (r=0.519, P<0.001).
