Kinetics of Circulating Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns in Sepsis

Figure 3

Comparisons of biomarkers between survivors group and nonsurvivors group. The time-courses of various biomarkers in survivors group and nonsurvivors group are plotted ((a) IL-6, (b) CRP, (c) PCT, (d) histone H3, (e) nucleosome, and (f) HMGB1). No difference was observed between the two groups in IL-6, CRP, PCT, nucleosome, and HMGB1, while histone H3 level was higher in nonsurvivors group on Day 7. Data are expressed as means ± standard error. AU: absorbance units, IL-6: interleukin 6, CRP: c-reacting protein, PCT: procalcitonin, and HMGB1: high-mobility group protein Box 1, .
