Figure 1

Syndecan-1 levels were significantly elevated in the control group at T1 compared with T0 ( versus , ), whereas the increase was not significant in the UTI group ( versus , ). The procedure lasted >3 h in 15 patients in the control group and 19 in the UTI group (long-duration cases). Syndecan-1 levels were elevated more significantly at T1 compared with T0 among long-duration cases ( versus , ), whereas the increase was still not significant in the equivalent UTI group ( versus , ).
