Serum Levels of Soluble ST2 and IL-10 Are Associated with Disease Severity in Patients with IgA Nephropathy

Figure 2

Correlation analysis of serum sST2 with IL-33 levels in IgAN patients. The potential relationships between sera sST2 and IL-33 levels in IgAN patients were analyzed by Spearman correlation tests. Data shown are the mean concentration of individual subjects from two separate experiments. ((a)–(d)) Serum sST2 was positively correlated with IL-33 levels in all patients and also in Stage I+II, Stage III, and Stage IV+V of IgAN patients.
