Figure 4

Comparison of organ function between dying and surviving septic mice using prospective stratification of outcome. Mice were subjected to CLP, monitored for BT and stratified into either predicted to die (P-DIE) or predicted to survive (P-SUR). Upon identification, P-DIE and P-SUR mice were always sacrificed in pairs additionally compared to the healthy animals (CTRL). (A) Cystatin C: P-DIE n = 11, P-SUR n = 14 and CTRL n = 14. (B) Creatinine: P-DIE n = 7, P-SUR n = 10 and CTRL n = 13. C. Troponin I: P-DIE n = 7, P-SUR n = 7 and CTRL n = 10. *p < 0.05 versus all other groups. Solid horizontal bars indicate mean ± standard error of means (SEM).
