  1. Immune cell profiles were compared between eGFR groups. P values were calculated using one-way ANOVA. For cell subsets, the percentage of the mother cell population was used for comparison instead of cell numbers. Values are expressed as means (SD). *: p value < 0.05. eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate derived from the CKD-EPI formula. Stage 3 CKD, eGFR between 30 and 60; stage 4 CKD, eGFR between 15 and 30; stage 5 CKD, eGFR less than 15. Monocyte 1: classical monocytes. Monocyte 2: intermediate monocytes. Monocyte 3: non-classical monocyte
