| Urine 25(OH)D:creatinine | Serum VDBP | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Variable | Rho | P‐value | Rho | P‐value |
| USG | 0.2 | .39 | −0.38 | .14 |
| UPC | 0.79 | <.001 | −0.48 | .06 |
| Albumin | −0.77 | <.001 | 0.53 | .03 |
| Phosphorus | 0.15 | .53 | −0.28 | .29 |
| Age | −0.2 | .39 | 0.61 | .01 |
The bolded values are statistically significant (ie, P value ≤ 0.05). Abbreviations: PLN, protein‐losing nephropathy; UPC, urine protein‐to‐creatinine ratio; USG, urine‐specific gravity; VDBP, vitamin D binding protein.
