Gut permeability indices of the three study groups. A The 0–2 h-L/R ratio was significantly elevated in patients with glomerular diseases (i.e., GN group: Pool of IgAN and non-IgAN GN data) compared to healthy controls (adjusted for age, gender, eGFR and proteinuria). B Patients with non-IgAN GNs exhibited a higher 0–2 h-L/R ratio, pointing to significantly increased small intestinal permeability compared to healthy controls (multivariable analysis). Patients with IgAN had no significant increase in the 0–2 h-L/R ratio versus healthy controls. C The 2–5 h-S/E ratio did not significantly change between the pooled GN-group and healthy controls. D No significant changes of the 2–5 h-S/E ratio could be seen between healthy controls, IgAN and non- IgAN GN patients. E There was no significant difference of the 5–24 h-S/E ratio between the patients with glomerular diseases compared to healthy controls. F The 5–24 h-S/E ratio was not significantly changed between the three groups. 0–2 h-L/R ratio, 0–2-h lactulose/L-rhamnose ratio; 2–5 h-S/E ratio, 2–5-h sucralose/erythritol (2–5 h-S/E) ratio; 5–24 h-S/E ratio, 5–24-h sucralose/erythritol ratio
