Table 4 Comparison of renal function parameters between patients without and with pleural effusion.
| No pleural effusion (n=197) | Pleural effusion (n=25) | P value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| BUN (mmol/L) | 3.98 (3.14–5.36) (n=194) | 5.16 (3.91–7.81) (n=24) | |
| Serum creatinine (μmol/L) | 84.10 (72.95–98.00) (n=185) | 93.35 (78.85–112.73) (n=22) | 0.092 |
| eGFR [mL/(min×1.73 m)] | 66.76 (55.51–80.34) (n=185) | 53.61 (46.11–70.87) (n=22) | |
| Renal failure | 7 (3.55) | 3 (12.00) | 0.131 |
| Data are presented as median (interquartile range) or n (%). BUN – blood urea nitrogen; eGFR – estimated glomerular filtration rate. | |||
