Regulation and Prognostic Relevance of Symmetric Dimethylarginine Serum Concentrations in Critical Illness and Sepsis
Figure 2
Serum SDMA concentrations in critically ill patients are correlated with renal and hepatic organ failure. Serum ADMA levels were measured in critically ill patients at admission to the ICU. Serum SDMA correlated significantly with renal failure (creatinine, (a)) or hepatic failure (pseudocholinesterase, (b)). Spearman rank correlation test, and values are given in the figure.
