Table 4.
Kidney collagen proportion per ROI. Mean percentages (±SD). Cortex was sub-analyzed to distinguish the parenchyma (1) and the large cortical vessels (2).
| Collagen Proportion (%) | Controls | 3w CIS | p-Val | 4w CIS | p-Val |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inner medulla | 10.29 (7.95) | 15.83 (3.78) | 0.147 | 14.54 (4.28) | 0.257 |
| Outer medulla | 4.94 (1.07) | 13.06 (3.49) | <0.001 | 4.98 (1.62) | 0.979 |
| Cortex 1,2 | 84.78 (8.59) | 71.10 (4.02) | 0.004 | 80.48 (4.60) | 0.286 |
| Total | 100% | 100% | 100% | ||
| 1 Cortex (minus vessels) | 36.07 (8.00) | 54.90 (4.57) | 0.001 | 65.33 (8.51) | <0.001 |
| 2 Large cortical vessels | 48.70 (10.52) | 16.21 (7.87) | <0.001 | 15.15 (6.46) | <0.001 |
