VWF and hypertensive disorder: Patients with hypertension showed significantly higher levels of vWF than patients without hypertension (14.92±15.07 vs. 7.63±7.26 μg/ml, p<0.001) and healthy volunteers (14.92±15.07 vs. 7.48±7.72 μg/ml, p<0.001), but there was no difference between IgAN patients without hypertension and healthy volunteers (7.63±7.26 vs. 7.48±7.72 μg/ml, p = 0.44) (Figure 3).
