Prediction of albuminuria
Since 2D SWV’s of right kidney upper pole and left kidney mid portion
appeared to significantly differ between mAlb+ and mAlb- subgroups and
age showed some correlation with SWV, logistic regression analysis was
performed. The first model included age and left mid portion SWV and did
not reveal a significant predictor of albuminuria status. The second
model included age and the right upper pole SWV, again with negative
results (Table 3).
