Column scatter graph comparing NEP in patients without AKI, with AKI and healthy control. The scatter plot of NEP (highest ELISA values detected during the observation period) of 90 sepsis patients is depicted, and the patients were divided into 2 groups: no AKI including patients with a history of CKD (n = 22), patients with AKI (n = 68) dynamics reaching one of the defined KDIGO stages and healthy individuals (n = 55)
