Fig 7. Relationship between the filtration-concentration speed and the increase in body temperature.

Fig 7

The increase in body temperature tended to be high when the filtration-concentration speed was high only among the patients with cirrhotic ascites and without concomitant use of steroids/NSAIDs (A). However, no relationship between them was found in malignant ascites regardless of concomitant use of steroids/NSAIDs (B). Circle: with concomitant steroids/NSAIDs. Open triangles: without concomitant steroids/NSAIDs. NSAIDs: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
