Figure 7. G-3-P increases immediately with human AKI and correlates with subsequent iFGF23 elevation.

(A and B) Plasma G-3-P (A) and creatinine (B) levels before (Preop) and immediately after (Postop) cardiac surgery for patients with AKI and control subjects (n = 13 for each group). Data represent the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, by 2-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. (C) Scatter plots of immediate postoperative plasma G-3-P and iFGF23 levels 24 hours after surgery in patients with AKI and control subjects. (D–G) Scatter plots of immediate postoperative PTH (D), phosphate (E), 1,25(OH)₂D (F), and creatinine (G) levels and iFGF23 levels 24 hours after surgery for patients with AKI.
