From: Sepsis induces albuminuria and alterations in the glomerular filtration barrier: a morphofunctional study in the rat

Figure 1

GFB permeability to albumin was increased after sepsis. Sepsis induced a dramatic increase in the amount of albumin measured in urine when compared to sham-injury (* P <0.05 CLP versus sham-operated at 3 and 7 hours, n = at least 5 rats each group). Albuminuria is expressed as urinary albumin/creatinine ratio to normalize the values for urinary volume. Data are expressed as a percentage compared to baseline. CLP, cecal ligation and puncture; n, number.
