The changes in the estimated glomerular filtration rate and the number of events in the patients with or without renal biopsy, classified by the plasma levels of vasohibin-1.

Abbreviations: eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate (mL/min/1.73 m2); RB, renal biopsy; RRT, renal replacement therapy; VASH-1, vasohibin-1. A composite renal event was defined as a decline in the eGFR of more than 30% of the baseline value, initiation of RRT or death associated with a renal disorder. The values are expressed as the means ± SD. The average eGFR did not include the values from the patients who received RRT or died.aP
