Expression Profiling and Clinical Significance of Plasma MicroRNAs in Diabetic Nephropathy

Figure 5

The correlation of plasma miR-150-5p and miR-155-5p expression levels with clinical parameters in patients with DN. Plasma miR-150-5p (, ; (a)) and miR-155-5p (, ; (b)) were negatively correlated with UAER. Plasma miR-150-5p (, ; (c)) and miR-155-5p (, ; (d)) were positively correlated with eGFR values. (e) No correlation was observed between miR-150-5p and triglycerides (, ). (f) Plasma miR-155-5p expression was positively correlated with triglycerides (, ). UAER: urinary albumin excretion rate; EGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; TG: triglycerides.
