Influence of inflammation on serum and urinary NGAL. (A): Urinary NGAL (ng/mL) increases together with increasing levels of CRP. (B): Serum NGAL (ng/mL) increases together with increasing levels of CRP. (C): Urinary NGAL (ng/mL) is not significantly different between AKI (transient or intrinsic) and no AKI, when stratified according to tertiles of CRP increase. (D): Serum NGAL (ng/mL) is not significantly different between AKI (transient or intrinsic) and no AKI in the two lower tertiles of CRP increase. (° = outliers; * = extreme outliers (> three times the height of the boxes)).
