PGF and endothelial dysfunction: Parameters studied were urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR), biomarkers of podocyte damage (synaptopodin, podocalyxin), PT dysfunction (kidney injury molecule-1-KIM-1, N-acetyl-β-(D)-glucosaminidase-NAG), endothelial dysfunction (P-selectin), VEGF, sFlt-1, and PlGF.
