Increased Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation in Uremia Is Associated with Chronic Inflammation and Prevalent Coronary Artery Disease

Figure 2

Response of neutrophils to stimulus. NET formation was increased 2.31-fold upon PMA treatment in HV. NET formation among the MHD and acute infection groups, however, was only stimulated 1.89- and 1.28-fold, compared with that observed in the HV group, supporting the spontaneous activated state of neutrophils.
