Univariate Spearman correlations with circulating PTX3 (A) or adipose tissue PTX3 mRNA (B) and clinical/biochemical variables in 56 patients with CKD stage 5.

ADMA, asymmetric dimethylarginine; CKD, chronic kidney disease; GFR, glomerular filtration rate; hsCRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; IL6, interleukin 6; MCP1, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1; NA, non applicable; PTX3, pentraxin 3; RQ, gene expression relative quantity; TNF, tumor necrosis factor.

ADMA：不对称二甲基精氨酸(asymmetric dimethylarginine)；CKD：慢性肾脏病(chronic kidney disease)；GFR：肾小球滤过率(glomerular filtration rate)；hsCRP：高敏C反应蛋白(high-sensitivity C-reactive protein)；IL6：白细胞介素6(interleukin 6)；MCP1：单核细胞趋化蛋白1(monocyte chemoattractant protein 1)；NA：不适用(non applicable)；PTX3：五聚蛋白3(pentraxin 3)；RQ：基因表达相对定量(gene expression relative quantity)；TNF：肿瘤坏死因子(tumor necrosis factor)
