Dynamic changes in biochemical indicators in the carriers of different IL6 genotypes. Mean values and standard errors (s.e.) of bilirubin, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) values are plotted by the IL6 —174 G>C genotypes in five points of measurements between 1 and 14 days after admission to the intensive care unit. Bars represent mean indicator values for patients carrying specified genotype. Significant P-values are given for recessive model (C/C versus G/G-G/C). The analysis is adjusted for age, sex, APACHE II score, and using (more than 24 h) of mechanical ventilation.
