Cytokine Signature in End-Stage Renal Disease Patients on Hemodialysis

Figure 3

“Cytokine signatures” of HD patients without VAT and with VAT. (a) The ascendant frequency of HD patients with high levels of plasma cytokine was assembled and data expressed by bar graphs. (b) The cytokine signatures were further overlaid for HD patients to identify relevant elements in the cytokine signature that emerge above the 50th percentile (cut-off dotted line). Group I: HD patients without VAT. Group II: HD patients with episodes of VAT. .
