A ANRIL levels were elevated in circulation of patients with CKD. B Correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between eGFR and ANRIL levels (n = 57). C Correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between FMD detection values and ANRIL levels in patients with CKD (n = 42). D BDNF concentration were decreased in circulation of patients with CKD. E Correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between eGFR and BDNF concentration (n = 59). F Correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between BDNF concentration and ANRIL levels in patients with CKD (n = 57). Data were shown as mean ± SD. (Student’s t test, Mann–Whitney test, Spearman’s correlation analysis. *P < 0.05 versus control group).
