Spearman correlation coefficient values, . Hb = hemoglobin, CKD = chronic kidney disease, IL-1β = interleukin 1β, TNF-RI = soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor I, TNF-RII = soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor II, sFasL = soluble Fas ligand, sFas = soluble Fas, sICAM-1 = soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1, TIMP-1 = tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1, sVCAM-1 = soluble human vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, MMP-9 = metalloproteinase-9, and TGF-β1 = transforming growth factor-beta 1. |
