Table 5.
Spearman correlations between urinary Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), albumin, and epidermal growth factor (EGF) in control children and children with solitary functioning kidney (SFK) is shown in the table. There was no significant correlation among the three urinary analytes suggesting that they are largely independent of each other.
| Control children | Urine Albumin (n=41) | Urine EGF (n=44) |
|---|---|---|
| Urine PGE2 (n=72) | rs = 0.06 (p = 0.722) | rs = −0.11 (p = 0.499) |
| Urine Albumin | - | rs = 0.01 (p = 0.933) |
| Children with SFK | Urine Albumin (n=40) | Urine EGF (n=44) |
| Urine PGE2 (n=57) | rs = −0.17 (p = 0.302) | rs = −0.02 (p = 0.905) |
| Urine Albumin | - | rs = −0.07 (p = 0.658) |
| All children | Urine Albumin (n=81) | Urine EGF(n=88) |
| Urine PGE2 (n=129) | rs = −0.01 (p = 0.951) | rs = −0.04 (p = 0.730) |
| Urine Albumin | - | rs = −0.02 (p = 0.847) |
