Urinary podocyte markers was significantly correlated with proteinuria. (A) Relationship between urinary sediment podocyte (podocin) (u-sed Pod) mRNA excretion and urinary supernatant podocyte (podocalyxin) (u-sup PCX) protein. (B) Relationship between u-sed Pod mRNA excretion and proteinuria. (C) Relationship between u-sup PCX protein and proteinuria. u-sed Pod mRNA excretion was significantly correlated with u-sup PCX protein (r=0.37, P<0.001). u-sed Pod mRNA excretion and u-sup PCX protein were significantly correlated with u-PCR (r=0.53, P<0.001 and r=0.35, P<0.001, respectively).
