Expression and Clinical Significance of Plasma miR-223 in Patients with Diabetic Nephropathy

Figure 2

(a) Association of miR-223 levels with the degree of urine β2-MG. Urine β2-MG readout <0.3 mg/L was normal, while ≥0.3 mg/L abnormal, an elevated serum miR-223 level in T2DM patients with abnormal urine β2-MG compared to those with normal urine β2-MG. (b) Association of miR-223 levels with the degree of ACR. ACR readout <30 mg/g was defined as normal, while ≥30 mg/g abnormal. T2DM patients with abnormal ACR exhibited an elevated serum miR-223 level compared to those with normal ACR.
