Table 3 Plasma Renalase, dopamine, and norepinephrine levels in patients with chronic kidney disease - hemodialyzed (before and after treatment - HD A, HD B), peritoneal dialysis (PD) treated conservatively (CKD), before and after kidney transplantation (TE A TE B), and in the control group (NK) (mean ± OS, median - lower and upper quartile). P* Kruskal-Wallis rank ANOVA analysis of Renalase concentration across study groups

From: Renalase, dopamine, and norepinephrine as markers for the development of hypertension in CKD patients
