Table 2 Comparison of the diagnostic performance of these parameters in the identification of IgA renal hematuria.

From: UF-5000 urinary erythrocyte parameters versus urinary aberrant erythrocytes and acanthocytes for diagnosing IgA glomerular hematuria

  1. Aberrant RBCs%(Microscopic), Proportion of malformed red blood cells in the urine to the total number of red blood cells; Acanthocytes%(Microscopic), Proportion of echinocytes to total red blood cells in the urine; UF-sRBC%, Small RBCs/NL-RBCs* 100%; ; Urine protein, Urinary dipstick scores of protein; AUC, area under the curve; CI, confidence interval; PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value; **, P < 0.01;*, P < 0.05.
