Finally, as we examined the correlation matrix between serum log-resistin levels and clinical variables in CKD patients, as illustrated in Table 3; we noticed that body weight (r = 0.244, p < 0.001), BMI (r = 0.305, p < 0.001), body fat mass (r = 0.422, p < 0.001), and log-cfPWV values (r = 0.249, p < 0.001) were positively correlated with resistin levels. The gene discussed is RETN; the disease is chronic kidney disease.
