On the other hand, inhaled corticosteroid use (yes/no) was positively correlated with total Cr ( r = 0.70, p = 0.002) and demonstrated a positive trend with NAA ( r = 0.43, p = 0.082) and Glu ( r = 0.40, p = 0.113), indicating that those on inhaled corticosteroids, clinically recommended for long-term asthma control, had higher levels of Cr ( Table 4 ). 3.5.
