Evaluation of Thymic Output and Regulatory T Cells in Kidney Transplant Recipients with Chronic Antibody-Mediated Rejection

Table 2

Correlation of the number of CD4⁺CD25^high Treg cells and lymphocytes with renal function parameters.

Parameter	Number of CD4^+CD25^high Treg cells	Interpretation	Number of lymphocytes	Interpretation
Creatinine		Low negative correlation		Moderate negative correlation
eGFR		Low positive correlation		Moderate positive correlation
BUN		Trivial		Trivial

eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; BUN: blood urea nitrogen; : Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient or Spearman’s rho.
