Positive correlations between indicators of endothelial function and clinical markers of disease severity. (A) Positive correlations between plasma concentrations of VCAM‐1 and clinical laboratory indices of d‐dimer. Positive correlations between plasma concentrations of tPA and clinical laboratory indices of (B) d‐dimer and (C) BUN. R for Pearson's correlation coefficient, *p < 0.001. BUN, blood urea nitrogen; tPA, tissue‐type plasminogen activator; VCAM‐1, vascular cell adhesion molecule‐1
