Figure 3.
Branched short chain fatty acids (isobutyrate, iC4 and isovalerate, iC5) per urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR). Both iC4 (A) and iC5 (B) correlated with UACR (iC4: R2 = 0.03, p = 0.02; iC5: R2 = 0.05, p = 0.004) in the unadjusted as well as in the adjusted model (iC4: R2 = 0.35, p = 0.03; iC5: R2 = 0.36, p = 0.005). The analyses were adjusted with age, sex, 24-h systolic blood pressure and estimated glomerular filtration rate. FM fecal mass. 95% CI around the regression line is shown in grey.
