Figure 5.

Plasma transfusion, but not crystalloid infusion, limits lung and renal endothelial leakage and organ damage in a rat trauma transfusion model. Data are boxplots with range. (A-C) Lung wet/dry ratio, area of 70-kDa FITC-dextran leakage, and lung total histology scores (supplemental Table 2). (D-F) Images (original magnification ×200) of the lung for all the groups. (G-I) Kidney wet/dry ratio, FITC-dextran leakage, and kidney total histology score. (J-L) Images (original magnification ×200) of the kidney for all groups. *P < .05 between groups.
