Oxidative Stress Is Predominant in Female but Not in Male Patients with Autoimmune Thrombocytopenia

Figure 4

Correlation of platelet count with oxidative stress and antioxidant capacities. As platelet count is associated with disease severity, the correlation of oxidative stress (OS) and antioxidant capacities (AOCs) were investigated. A weak positive correlation was observed in respect to OS (𝑃=0.0327, Spearman 𝑅=0.4672) whereas no correlation was observed with AOCs (𝑃=0.5307, Spearman 𝑅=−0.1449) (PLT = platelets).
