Figure 3From: Association between human cartilage glycoprotein 39 (YKL-40) and arterial stiffness in essential hypertension Scatter diagram of YKL-40 and stiffness(CFA) in normoalbuminuric and microalbuminuric hypertensions. Spearman correlation of circulating plasma levels YKL-40 and stiffness. The level of YKL positively correlate with stiffness in normoalbuminuric and microalbuminuric hypertensions ( r = 0.42, P = 0.001).Back to article page
