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

Figure 3

Correlation analysis of miR-223 expression with the concentration of ACR, urine β-MG, urine α1-MG, creatinine, Cys-C, and HbA1c. (a) miR-223 level was negatively correlated with ACR (r = − 0.481). (b) miR-223 level was negatively correlated with urine β2-MG (r = − 0.494). (c) miR-223 level was negatively correlated with urine α1-MG (r = − 0.537). (d) miR-223 level was negatively correlated with Cr (r = − 0.664). (e) miR-223 level was negatively correlated with Cys-C (r = − 0.553). (f) miR-223 level was negatively correlated with A1c (r = − 0.761).
