GFR was negatively correlated to the percentage of global glomerulosclerosis (r = −0.47, P<0.05 n = 19) and albumin excretion correlated with presence of segmental glomerulosclerosis (r = 0.54, n = 18, p<0.05) and extracapillary proliferation (r = 0.59, n = 18, p<0.01). Here, ALB is linked to glomerulosclerosis.
