(a) Distribution of serum CN-1 concentrations in all the studied patients () according to ACR in normoalbuminuria (), microalbuminuria (), and macroalbuminuria (). Boxes and whiskers represent the median and IQR. (b) According to eGFR in severely decreased (), mildly decreased (), and preserved eGFR (). (c) Spearman correlation of serum CN-1 [log (serum CN-1]) and urinary CN-1 [log (urinary CN-1)] concentrations in all patients (). (d) Patients () display lower serum CN-1 concentrations in comparison to healthy subjects (). (e) Differences are not related to the distribution of the homozygous CNDP1 (CTG)5 versus all other genotypes (>CTG)5 (). (f) Patients () have higher urinary CN-1 levels compared to the healthy group ().
