Injury to the endothelial glycocalyx (eGC) in vivo. Sublingual dark field imaging in patients allows quantification of the eGC thickness as indicated by the perfused boundary region (PBR). Box and whisker plots showing results for healthy controls (n = 10) as well as patients with septic shock before commencement of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) (n = 11)
