  1. The data are shown ratiometrically for relative fluorescence units (RFU) for CKD/healthy control. CKD: chronic kidney disease, PSP: phosphoserine phosphatase, FABPL: fatty acid-binding protein, liver-type, REG4: regenerating islet-derived protein 4, tPA: tissue plasminogen activator, IGFBP-6: insulin-like growth factor-binding protein, EFN: ephrin, SECTM1: secreted and transmembrane protein 1, Ephrin: Eph family receptor interacting proteins, SMOC1: secreted modular calcium-binding protein 1, VEGF: vascular endothelial growth factor, PIANP: PILR Alpha Associated Neural Protein, MIA: melanoma inhibitory activity, TIMP-1: tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases, NEGR: neuronal growth regulator.
