Comparison between plasma and serum levels of C3, C4, CH50, Ba, C5a and sC5b-9 and inulin clearance (Cin) as a marker of renal function. When we compared levels of C3 (a), C4 (b), CH50 (c), Ba as a fragment of factor B (d), C5a (e) and sC5b-9 (f) between plasma and serum samples, serum levels of C5a, Ba and sC5b-9 were significantly higher than plasma levels, although no differences were evident between plasma and serum levels of C3, C4 or CH50. Closed and open circle represent plasma and serum samples, respectively
