Serum Prolidase Activity and Oxidative Stress in Diabetic Nephropathy and End Stage Renal Disease: A Correlative Study with Glucose and Creatinine

Table 4

Representation of Pearson’s correlation values for different comparison groups. FBS was nonsignificantly correlated to SPA, TOS, TAS, and OSI in control-1, while significantly correlated in control-2, case-1, and case-2. Nonsignificant correlation was observed between creatinine and SPA, TOS, TAS, and OSI in control-1, while significant in control-2 and case-1.
