Volcano plot indicating amino acids with the most meaningful changes analyzed in the urine and serum of sepsis (A) and septic shock (B) on admission based on univariate analysis—y-axis: Mann–Whitney p value, x-axis: fold change (FC). Each dot represents one amino acid. The amino acids with significance p < 0.05 are located above the red horizontal line. The amino acids with more than a twofold change of a concentration are located on right and left from the respective blue right and left vertical lines. Only red dots indicate amino acids with the clinical and statistical differences. Arg, arginine; Cit, citrulline; Gln, glutamine; Gly, glycine; Gly-Pro, glycine-proline; hPro, 4 hydroxyproline; Ile, isoleucine; Leu, leucine; Lys, lysine; mHis, 3-methyl-histidine; Orn, ornithine; Phe, phenylalanine; Pro, proline; Sarc, sarcosine; Tyr, tyrosine; Val, valine; p, significant value.
