Figure 1

Box plots showing plasma aldosterone levels in hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), grouped in the first three stages of the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes classification and in hypertensive subjects without CKD. In the box-and-whisker plots, the central boxes represent the values from the lower to upper quartile (25th to 75th percentile). The middle lines represent the medians. Lower and upper whiskers extend to the 5th and 95th percentiles, respectively. (1)After adjustment by analysis of covariance for age, the P-value remained highly significant (P<0.0001) *P<0.001 vs. CKD I, vs. CKD II and vs. CKD III; ^P=0.04 vs. CKD I.
