Univariate analysis of PCT, PCT/Alb, CRP, and CRP/Alb between survival and non-survival groups in patients with sepsis-induced AKI.
| Survival group (n = 107) | Non-survival group (n = 64) | P-value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCT (ng/ml), median (IQR) | 8.74 (1.07–21.93) | 52.57 (19.16–100.00) | 0.000 |
| CRP (mg/l), median (IQR) | 186.33 (136.33–235.85) | 224.38 (188.13–276.77) | 0.008 |
| Alb(g/l) (mean ± SD) | 24.41 ± 4.72 | 22.15 ± 5.48 | 0.234 |
| CRP/Alb, median (IQR) | 5.84 (5.34–10.92) | 10.81 (7.14–13.79) | 0.001 |
| PCT/Alb, median (IQR) | 0.29 (0.04–0.53) | 2.43 (0.85–3.79) | 0.000 |
IQR, range of quartile; Alb, Serum albumin; CRP, C-reactive protein; PCT, procalcitonin; CRP/Alb, the ratio of CRP to Alb; PCT/Alb, the ratio of PCT to Alb.
