Significant correlations between quantitative morphological data and clinical data in the three groups of patients (FSGS, hypertensive, IgA, diabetes; each dot indicates a subject). The horizontal axis (independent variable) indicates the morphological quantity and the vertical axis the hematological variable. Linear regression lines for each group are superimposed. a serum uric acid level as a function of the tubular density. b-e eGFR as a function of (b) the number of tubules per glomerulus, (c), the glomerular density, (d) the tubular density, (e) fractal dimension. f serum uric acid as a function of the tubular lumen fractal dimension
