Morphometric analysis between the normoalbuminuria and microalbuminuria groups
| Characteristic | Normoalbuminuria | Microalbuminuria | p Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| MGV (×106 µm3) | 2.60±0.92 | 2.94±0.99 | NS |
| Vv(Int/cortex) | 0.15±0.06 | 0.17±0.05 | NS |
| %GS | 6.0±11.7 | 9.3±12.9 | NS |
| IAH | 1.33±0.48 | 1.69±0.64 | <0.01 |
%GS, percent global glomerular sclerosis; IAH, index of arteriolar hyalinosis; MGV, mean glomerular volume; NS, not significant; Vv(Int/cortex), interstitial volume fraction.
