Growth Differentiation Factor-15 as a Predictor of Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy Progression: A Retrospective Study

Figure 2

Relationship between serum GDF-15 level and proteinuria and serum PLA2R Ab level and proteinuria. Distribution of serum GDF-15 in patients stratified by (a) nephrotic range and nonnephrotic proteinuria. Distribution of serum PLA2R Ab in patients stratified by (b) nephrotic range and nonnephrotic proteinuria. GDF: growth differentiation factor; PLA2R Ab: phospholipase A2 receptor antibody; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate.
