Urinary Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 and Nephrin in Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy: A Cross-Sectional Study

Table 4

Correlation analysis of urinary matrix metalloproteinase-9 and nephrin with selected renal parameters in idiopathic membranous nephropathy.

Renal parameters in IMN	Urinary nephrin (ng/μmol Cr)		Urinary MMP-9 (ng/μmol Cr)
		value		value
Proteinuria (mg/μmolUCr)	0.174	0.073	0.332	0.015
eGFR (ml/min/1.73 m^2)	-0.193	0.030	-0.279	0.025

IMN: idiopathic membranous nephropathy; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; UCr: urine creatinine; Cr: creatinine; MMP-9; matrix metalloproteinase-9; : significant correlation.
