The relationships between the log transformed value of the 24 hr urinary excreted Klotho level and that of the urine Klotho-to-creatinine ratio in all subjects (a) and in the subjects without NS (b), and between the 24 hr urine protein and the random urine protein-to creatinine ratio (c). Note that there was a strong linear dependence between the 24 hr urine protein and the random urine protein- to-creatinine ratio. Solid line: linear regression, dotted lines: 95% confidence intervals.
