Figure 1 Urinary vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) excretion in different glomerular diseases and healthy control subjects. Abbreviations are: MGN, membranous glomerulonephritis; MC, minimal change glomerulonephritis; FSGS, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis; VAS, vasculitis; DNP, diabetic nephropathy; Control, healthy controls. The lines indicate the mean values for each group.
