Haematocrit and haemoglobin levels and erythrocyte P2X1 receptor expression. a Change in haematocrit (hct) in blood pathogen-positive patients with sepsis, between Emergency Department (ER) and ICU admissions and P2X1 receptor expression on erythrocytes. The right panel shows blood pathogen-positive patients grouped by high or low expression of P2X1 (Δhct/hour, p = 0.011). b Change in haematocrit in blood pathogen-negative patients with sepsis between ER and ICU admission was not correlated with P2X1 receptor expression on erythrocytes. The right panel shows erythrocyte turnover rate (Δhct/hour) in high P2X1-expressing or low P2X1-expressing patients. c Change in haemoglobin in blood pathogen-positive patients with sepsis between ER and ICU admissions and P2X1 receptor expression on erythrocytes. The right panel shows the change in haemoglobin (ΔHgb/hour) in blood pathogen-positive patients grouped by high or low expression of P2X1 (p = 0.0375). d Change in haemoglobin from ER-admission to ICU in blood pathogen-negative patients with sepsis and P2X1 receptor expression on erythrocytes. The right panel shows change in haemoglobin (ΔHgb/hour) between high P2X1-expressing and low P2X1-expressing patients. Data presented as mean ± SEM
