Figure 1. Correlation between urinary and serum concentrations
of NT-proBNP. Abbreviations: NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro–B-type
natriuretic peptide; The vertical axis (urinary NT-proBNP/creatinine
ratio) is log-10-transformed because of its skewed distribution; and the
horizontal axis is expressed as Z-log values adjusted for age(panel A) and log-10-transformed serum NT-proBNP (panel
B) . The linear regression curve is shown in a continuous line and the
95% confidence interval (CI95%) in discontinued lines.
