From: Characteristics of the urinary microbiome in kidney stone patients with hypertension
Comparison of functional pathways between three stages of blood pressure in KSD patients. Gene functions were predicted from 16S rRNA gene-based microbial compositions using the PICRUSt algorithm and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database. Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to compare the difference of abundance between two groups. *, ** means p < 0.05, p < 0.01, respectively.
