Correlation analysis of 3 hub genes with CKD progression. (A–C) Correlation scatter plots of LOXL1 (A), COL3A1 (B), and CD48 (C) expression with age, respectively. (D–F) Correlation scatter plots of LOXL1 (D), COL3A1 (E), and CD48 (F) expression with gender, respectively. (G–I) Correlation scatter plots of LOXL1 (G), COL3A1 (H), and CD48 (I) expression with CKD progression, respectively. (J,K) ROC curve demonstrating the diagnostic performance of each candidate biomarker and the nomogram model for CKD progression in GSE137570 dataset cohort2. CKD, chronic kidney disease; ROC, receiver operating characteristic.
