Figure 4

Heatmap demonstrating the inflammatory profile of patients according to the main aetiologies of kidney disease. The heatmap shows data for the mean plasma concentration of each indicated marker according to the main aetiologies of kidney disease, and the data were log-transformed and Z score normalized. A hierarchical cluster analysis (Ward’s method with 100X bootstrap) was used to group the biomarkers with similar distributions between the time points. Dendrograms represent Euclidean distance. DM: diabetes mellitus; GP: glomerulopathies; SAH: systemic arterial hypertension.
