Comparison of plasma or serum levels of Ba, C5a and sC5b-9 between Cin < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (Cin < 60) and Cin ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (Cin ≥ 60). For both plasma and serum samples, levels of Ba in Cin < 60 were significantly higher than those in Cin ≥ 60 (a and d). For plasma samples, levels of C5a were slightly but significantly higher in Cin < 60 than in Cin ≥ 60 (b). On the other hand, serum C5a levels and plasma and serum sC5b-9 levels did not differ significantly between Cin < 60 and Cin ≥ 60 (c, e and f). a and d, b and e, and c and f show levels of Ba, C5a and sC5b-9, respectively. a–c and d–f show plasma and serum samples, respectively. Closed and open circles represent Cin < 60 and Cin ≥ 60, respectively
