Sustained High Level of Serum VEGF at Convalescent Stage Contributes to the Renal Recovery after HTNV Infection in Patients with Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome
Figure 2
Compare the concentration of serum VEGF among four severity groups at each stage of HFRS. For (a) febrile/hypotensive stage, (b) oliguric stage, and (c) diuretic stage, the serum VEGF levels are significantly higher than those in healthy controls, but there was no difference in the serum VEGF level among the four severity groups. (d) For the convalescence stage, the level of serum VEGF was higher in the more serious group. The significant difference was performed among four groups. The Mann-Whitney -test was used for a two-group comparison. , .
