Chemerin in plasma of critically ill patients according to bacterial infection and association of plasma chemerin with survival. (a) Plasma chemerin levels of SIRS/sepsis patients (patients with liver cirrhosis were excluded) with no bacteria detected (No), infected with Gram-negative bacteria (gram −), infected with Gram-positive bacteria (gram +) or both types of bacteria. The p-values for significant differences are shown in the figure; (b) plasma chemerin of all patients in relation to survival. The small circles above the boxes mark outliers.
