Box plots showing serum concentrations of suPAR and lactic acid in patients (n = 40) and controls (n = 40). A: Serum levels of suPAR were highly significant in patients with sepsis (median = 7.75 ng/ml) compared to healthy controls (median = 3 ng/ml) (p < 0.001). B: Serum levels of lactic acid were highly significant in patients with sepsis (median = 2 mmol/l) compared to healthy controls (median = 1.05 mmol/l) (p < 0.001)
