Figure 1 Readouts of sC5b-9 in patients with aHUS with acute and inactive disease are inconsistent among laboratories (outliers defined as >1.5×IQR). Data from: (A) this publication (Molecular Otolaryngology and Renal Research Laboratories, MORL), Table 2 from Noris et al2 (samples without sC5b-9 values excluded), supplemental Fig 1c from Cataland et al4 (excluding 2 outliers), and (B) Table 3 from Volokhina et al.3 Dashed rectangles demarcate group-specific normal ranges. (C) P values of intergroup comparisons using Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test.
