Figure 3 Research plan and conclusions (generated using biorender.com). The concentration of IMA in non-stimulated whole saliva is negatively correlated with the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). IMA levels in the serum and urine of patients do not have diagnostic value for assessing the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
