Despite there being no significant difference in these concentrations, the variation in uNTBI concentrations does represent an elevated trend as CKD severity increases ( Figure 2B ). 3.5 Spearman and partial correlation Analysis of the Spearman’s rank test demonstrated a significantly positive correlation of pHIF-1α concentrations with uHIF-1α concentrations (rho = 0.54, p < 0.001) and with systolic arterial blood pressure (rho = 0.26, p = 0.032) ( Table 2 ).
