Plasma biochemical parameters in chronic kidney disease (CKD) mice. Renal function for sham, 5/6-nephrectomized (CKD) and AST-120 treated CKD mice.

	Sham	CKD	CKD + AST-120
BUN (mg/dL)	21.1 ± 1.2	56.7 ± 9.4 a	45.5 ± 6.0 a
SCr (mg/dL)	0.2 ± 0.02	0.8 ± 0.31 a	0.4 ± 0.13

Data are expressed as the mean ± SE (n = 4). ^a p < 0.05 compared with sham. BUN, blood urea nitrogen; SCr, serum creatinine.
