Figure 2

Correlations between renal function, vascular stiffness and circulating biomarkers of inflammation and cell adhesion. Panels A to G (left) show scatterplots of E-selectin, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), adiponectin, osteopontin, leptin, C-reactive protein (CRP) and phosphate against estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Panels H to N (right) show scatterplots of pulse wave velocity (PWV) against these circulating markers. Data for osteopontin, leptin and CRP have been log transformed for these plots. Open symbols: no coronary artery disease; closed symbols: coronary artery disease. Spearman correlation coefficients and associated P-values are displayed in Table 4.
