Early, Noninvasive Clinical Indicators of Kidney Prognosis in Primary Nephrotic Syndrome: A Retrospective Exploratory Study

Figure 1

Time-dependent accuracy of each clinical parameter for predicting 40% reduction in the eGFR. suPAR, soluble urokinase receptor; s-, serum; u-, urinary; L-FABP, liver-type fatty acid-binding protein; PCR, protein-to-creatinine ratio; ROC, receiver operating characteristic; AUC, the area under the ROC curve. Predictive accuracy for the cumulative incidence of 40% reduction in the eGFR by X years after starting immunosuppressive therapy using time-dependent ROC curve analysis (X = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8).
