Chemokine CXCL10 (IP-10, p < 0.001), trefoil factor 3 (TFF3, p = 0.010) that is found upregulated in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the pro-inflammatory cytokine granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF, p < 0.001) all displayed highest levels in KTX 3 and 5 (Figure 4). Here, CXCL10 is linked to chronic kidney disease.
