Comparison of protein levels across final diagnostic categories.

Urinary protein levels measured in 120 patients with hematuria were related to final diagnostic categories in (ANOVA; p = 0.022). Subsequently, we carried out a one way ANOVA with post-hoc Dunnett T3 analyses using log10 transformed protein data. Higher protein levels were measured in urine from patients diagnosed with bladder cancer in comparison to those with no diagnosis (p = 0.073). There were no significant differences between the protein levels measured in patients with confounding pathologies and levels measured in the urines from bladder cancer patients (p = 0.621) or between patients with no diagnosis and patients with confounding pathologies (p = 0.316).
