From: Serum Interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 are early biomarkers of acute kidney injury and predict prolonged mechanical ventilation in children undergoing cardiac surgery: a case-control study

Figure 1

Serum IL-6 and IL-8 are increased in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). (a) Serum IL-6 was determined at 0, 2, 12, and 24 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass, and median levels were significantly increased 2 and 12 hours after CPB in patients with AKI versus patients without AKI. *P < 0.01; **P < 0.05. (b) Serum IL-8 was determined at 0, 2, 12, and 24 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass, and median levels were significantly increased at 2, 12, and 24 hours in patients with AKI versus patients without AKI. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.001.
