Urinary excretion of pentosidine in cases of new onset microalbuminuria with and without Early GFR decline compared to normoalbuminuria controls. (a) Increased urinary excretion of pentosidine in patients with MA, with respect to patients with NA. (b) Increased urinary excretion of pentosidine in patients with early decline in GFR, with respect to patients with stable renal function. Data distributions are shown with horizontal bars indicating median values. Statistical analysis: Mann–Whitney U test.
