Interaction of MTT (MTT1/MTT0) and eGFR (eGFR1/eGFR0) in the presence (∆) and absence (o) of zinc. Correlation of MTT (MTT1/MTT0) and eGFR (eGFR1/eGFR0) in case of Zn administration: Rho = −0.49; 95%CI: −0.78 to −0.03; p = 0.04. Addition of Zinc has a significant impact (p = 0.01). No significant correlation without Zn administration: Rho = −0.01, 95%CI: −0.35 to 0.33; p = 0.96. MTT: Metallothionein. eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate. Units: MMT: ng/mL; eGFR: mL/min. Zn = 0: n = 36; Zn = 1: n = 18
