values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Correlation coefficient shows strong positive correlation, and shows weak positive correlation. NAG is N-acetyl--D-glucosaminidase, AAP is alanine aminopeptidase, Cr is creatinine, Alb is albumin, and eGFR is estimated glomerular filtration rate.
