Fig. 2From: Mechanistic study of the cause of decreased blood 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D in sepsisIncreased blood creatinine levels and decreased blood IGF-1 levels correlated with suppressed blood 1,25(OH)2D levels in sepsis patients. Correlations of blood 1,25(OH)2D levels with blood levels of creatinine (a, left panel) and IGF-1 (b, left panel) in the 79 sepsis patients were analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis. The same analyses were performed after outliers were removed (a, right panel and b, right panel). Circled dots were considered as outliersBack to article page
