Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 2. A, In the first blood samples that were collected, the median of the Ang II levels in the patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) was 379.44 pg/mL (IQR, 15.00–1,455.98 pg/mL), whereas the median of the angiotensin (Ang) II levels in the patients without ARDS was 490.68 pg/mL (interquartile range [IQR], 21.65–2,955.67 pg/mL). In the second blood samples, the median of the Ang II levels in the patients with ARDS was 319.28 pg/mL (IQR, 44.06–1,336.68 pg/mL), whereas the median of Ang II levels in the patients without ARDS was 508.98 pg/mL (IQR, 10–2,062.609 pg/mL). In the third blood samples, the median of the Ang II levels in the patients with ARDS was 400.09 pg/mL (IQR, 14.61–1,049.52 pg/mL), whereas the median of the Ang II levels in the patients without ARDS was 500.39 pg/mL (IQR, 26.36–5,320.39 pg/mL). B, The median values of the serum Ang II levels in the first, second, and third blood samples of the patients admitted to the ICU were 381.68 pg/mL (IQR, 15.00–1,455.98 pg/mL), 298.23 pg/mL (IQR, 37.13–1,336.68 pg/mL), and 401.68 pg/mL (IQR, 14.61–1,049.52 pg/mL), respectively. In patients who did not require admission to the ICU, the serum Ang II levels were 495.19 pg/mL (IQR, 21.65–2,955.67 pg/mL), 531.61 pg/mL (IQR, 10.00–2,062.60), and 485.73 pg/mL (IQR, 14.61–1,049.52 pg/mL), respectively. C, In the first collected blood samples, the median of the Ang II levels in the nonsurvivors was 400.44 pg/mL (IQR, 15.00–1,455.98 pg/mL), whereas the median of the Ang II levels in the survivors was 454.27 pg/mL (IQR: 21.65–2,955.67 pg/mL) pg/mL. In the second blood samples, the median of the Ang II levels in the nonsurvivors was 360.91 pg/mL (IQR, 50–1,336 pg/mL), whereas the median of Ang II levels in the survivors was 484.4 pg/mL (IQR, 10.00–1,062.60 pg/mL). In the third blood samples, the median of the Ang II levels in the nonsurvivors was 401.68 pg/mL (IQR, 14.61–1,049.52 pg/ mL), whereas the median of Ang II levels in the survivors was 450.72 pg/mL (IQR, 26.36–5,320.79 pg/mL).
Article Snippet: The human angiotensin II enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit (Elabscience Biotechnology Catalog No: E-EL-H0326, Houston, TX) was used for the determination of serum angiotensin II levels.
