Correlation between blood biochemistry parameters and GSP levels.

Parameters	GSP (𝑛=74)
AST	𝑟 = 0.125
ALT	𝑟 = 0.062
Glucose	𝑟 = 0.177
Alk-P	𝑟 = −0.005
Albumin	𝑟 = −0.073
Uric acid	𝑟 = 0.003
Cr (pre-HD)	𝑟 = 0.216
BUN (post-HD)	𝑟 = 0.031
Cr (post-HD)	𝑟 = 0.280*
BUN (post-HD)	𝑟 = 0.156
Years on HD	𝑟 = −0.240*
𝐾𝑡/𝑉	𝑟 = −0.124
nPCR	𝑟 = −0.086

Note: n = valid cases, AST = aspartate transaminase, ALT = alanine aminotransferase, Cr = serum creatinine, BUN = blood urea nitrogen, alk-p = alkaline phosphatase, and GSP = galactose single point. *P < 0.05.
