| Control (n=24) | CKD (n=24) | P-value | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Median | 25% percentile | 75% percentile | Median | 25% percentile | 75% percentile | ||
| Total protein, NWS (ug/dL) | 1523 | 1315 | 2175 | 794 | 535 | 979.5 | |
| Total protein, SWS (ug/dL) | 1509 | 1340 | 1707 | 1101 | 466 | 1544.5 | 0.0026 |
| Salivary flow rate, NWS (mL/min) | 0.48 | 0.4 | 0.63 | 0.28 | 0.2 | 0.38 | |

| API (%) | 21 | 24 | NS | ||||
| The Mann-Whitney U test was used for inter-group comparisons. API – approximal plaque index; DMFT – decayed, missing, and filled permanent teeth; dmft – decayed, missing, and filled primary teeth; GI – Gingival Index; NS – non-significance; NWS – non-stimulated whole saliva; SBI – Sulcus Bleeding Index; SWS – stimulated whole saliva. | |||||||
