Circulating LPS, TLR2, and TLR4 correlate with markers of activated coagulation in UC patients. Concentrations of LPS, TLR2, and TLR4 and levels of D-Dimer and prothrombin fragment were measured in the sera and plasma, respectively, of UC patients. (a) Correlation between D-Dimer plasma levels and serum LPS, TLR2, and TLR4 in UC patients. (b) Correlation between prothrombin fragment and circulating LPS, TLR2, and TLR4 in UC patients. Statistical analysis was performed by means of Spearman Correlation Test. was considered statistically significant.
