Baseline plasma biomarker levels in patients with COVID-19 stratified by kidney transplant recipient status and respective controls. To investigate potential differences in plasma biomarkers, we employed the Kruskal–Wallis test, followed by Dunn’s test, with Benjamini–Hochberg correction for multiple comparisons. Statistically significant results are denoted by the following symbols: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, and **** p < 0.0001. The outliers are showed as black dots. Abbreviations: IL-6: interleukin 6. IL-8: interleukin 8. IL-9: interleukin 9. IL-10: interleukin 10. sICAM-1: soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1. sVCAM-1: soluble circulating vascular cell adhesion molecule 1. IFN-γ: interferon gamma. IFN-α: interferon alpha. SAA: serum amyloid A. GDF-15: growth/differentiation factor 15. MPO: myeloperoxidase. NGAL: neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin. D0 (day 0): blood samples were collected at admission. KTRs: kidney transplant recipients. Non-KTRs: non-kidney transplant recipients.
