Plasma presepsin levels and other parameters measured at the same time point. a Plasma presepsin levels white blood cell count. White blood cell count and plasma presepsin levels were plotted. Plasma presepsin levels were not significantly associated to the absolute white blood cell count(r = −0.19, p = 0.19). Plasma presepsin level was not associated with neutrophil count, or monocyte count, either (data not shown). b Plasma presepsin levels and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. CRP levels and plasma presepsin levels were plotted. Plasma presepsin levels were strongly associated to the CRP levels. (r = 0.61, p < 0.01)
