The dynamic changes of nCD64 and mHLA-DR expression related to the prognosis of the infection KTRs.

Parameters	Infection KTRs (n = 21)	Exacerbation group (n = 3)	Non-exacerbation group (n = 18)	P value*
ΔnCD64	-5387.71 ± 8938.28	143.67 ± 5631.89	-6309.61 ± 9163.02	0.26

*Comparison between the exacerbation group and non-exacerbation group.

Tested by Student’s t test or Welch’s t test.

The exacerbation group was defined as ΔSOFA > 0 and the non-exacerbation group was defined as ΔSOFA ≤ 0. Δ means the results of the second test minus that of the first test.

KTRs, kidney transplant recipients; nCD64, neutrophil CD64; mHLA-DR, monocyte HLA-DR; MESF, molecules of equivalent soluble fluorochrome; SI, sepsis index.
