We found a highly significant inverse correlation between the intraoperatively measured sCD74 levels and the duration of ICU stay ( r =−0.616; p =0.001; 45 min after CPB initiation).
We found a highly significant inverse correlation between the intraoperatively measured sCD74 levels and the duration of ICU stay ( r =−0.616; p =0.001; 45 min after CPB initiation).
Moreover, MIF-2 levels showed a trend toward the prediction of acute kidney injury (AKI) area under the curve (AUC=0.685; p =0.085).
In the sCD74 + patients, sCD74 levels were slightly elevated before surgery when compared with a group of age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers; however, this difference did not reach statistical significance (52±142 vs. 36±41 ng/ml; p =0.342).
