Figure 1 Relationship of urinary excretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) with 24 hours' creatinine clearance (CCr) and serum level of VEGF. (A) VEGF excretion in urine per day vs. CCr in patients with chronic renal injury. VEGF excretion in urine inversely correlated with CCr (simple regression analysis: Y = 117.2–0.92X, P = 0.0003 for the slope; R = 0.620). (B) VEGF excretion in urine vs. VEGF level in serum in patients with chronic renal injury. (C) VEGF excretion in urine per day vs. CCr in patients with ischemic acute renal failure. The three symbols indicate individual patients. Kidney International 2001 59, 385-386DOI: (10.1046/j.1523-1755.2001.00504.x) Copyright © 2001 International Society of Nephrology Terms and Conditions
