| Characteristic | Normal controls | CI | CII | CIII | ANOVA p Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MGV(×106 µm3) | 1.40±0.55 | 2.71±1.00 | 2.71±0.83 | 2.86±1.25 | <0.001 |
| Vv(Int/cortex) | 0.10±0.01 | 0.13±0.06 | 0.16±0.05 | 0.19±0.05 | <0.001 |
| %GS | 7.5±9.7 | 6.7±12.3 | 8.9±12.9 | 4.5±10.3 | NS |
ANOVA, analysis of variance; CI, category I; CII, category II; CIII, category III; %GS, percent global glomerular sclerosis; MGV, mean glomerular volume; NS, not significant; Vv(Int/cortex), interstitial volume fraction.
