Relationship of serum ELA levels with other variables
LDL-C | FBG | BUN | eGFR | DR | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
ELA | Pearson Correlation | −,201 | −,437 | −,161 | ,250 | −,222 |

We studied the relationship between serum ELA levels and other variables. In simple correlation analyses, as shown in Table 2 (P-values between variables) and table 3 (correlation coefficients between variables) ELA had a significantly negative correlation with LDL-C (r = −0.201, P <=0.014), retinopathy (r = −0.222, P = 0.006), serum BUN(r = −0.161, P = 0.049), serum FBG (r = −0.437, P < 0.001) and a positive correlation with eGFR(r = 0.250, P = 0.006).
