Table 2.
Vanin and periostin levels in the IgAV and IgAVN patient groups and the control group.
| Parameter | Control Group (n = 18) | IgAN (n = 20) | IgAVN (n = 31) | p |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vanin (pmol/L) | 61.1 (1–442.1) | 203.4 (2.5–421.6) | 190.4 (1.1–533) | 0.016 |
| Periostin (pmol/L) | 21 (5–212.1) | 16.7 (5–67.5) | 22.8 (5–73.4) | NS |
| Vanin (pg/mg creatinine) * | 0.5 (0.0–11.6) | 1.8 (0.0–7.5) | 1.8 (0–11.6) | NS |
| Perostin (pg/mg creatinine) * | 0.2 (0.1–1.1) | 0.2 (0.0–153.3) | 0.4 (0.0–2.5) | NS |
* pg/mg creatinine: We obtained the results in this parameter to adjust the results according to the gender of our patients and the different intensities of creatinine elimination; NS = not significant.
