Correlations between the plasma and urinary levels of vasohibin-1, the vasohibin-1-small vasohibin-binding protein complex and small vasohibin-binding protein, and the annual change rates in the estimated glomerular filtration rate.

<p>Abbreviations: eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; SVBP, small vasohibin-binding protein; U-Cr, urinary level of creatinine; VASH-1, vasohibin-1. The annual change rates in eGFR were evaluated as follows: the annual change in eGFR was divided by the eGFR at baseline.</p>a<p><i>P</i><0.05.
