Figure 5

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