Fig 3. IL-8 concentration in hypertension.

Fig 3

Hypertension was associated with increased serum levels of IL = 8 (Mann- Whitney U test; p = 0.02). The data are presented as medians (symbols inside the boxes), 25–75% percentiles (boundaries of the boxes) and minimum—maximum (error bars outside the boxes). Statistical significance (p<0.05) is marked with “*” (A). Concentration of IL = 8 was in positive correlation (Spearman’s rank correlation) with systolic blood pressure (B; R = 0,326, p = 1x10-3) and in negative correlation with glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (C; R = -0.26, p = 0.01). Correlations were calculated for both- hypertensive and healthy individuals together.
