Figure 1 Circulating soluble urokinase receptor (suPAR) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). (a) suPAR concentrations according to strata of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). (b–d) suPAR concentrations plotted as a function of the eGFR for non-focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) controls (black dots), patients with active FSGS (red dots), and FSGS in remission (green dots). Data are plotted for all patients (a, b) for patients with 24-h proteinuria more than 1g, (c) and for patients with a 24-h proteinuria exceeding 3g.
