Figure 4 Correlation between serum prostaglandin E2 level and systolic blood pressure during operation. There was negative correlation between serum prostaglandin E2 level and systolic blood pressure (R = −0.392, y = −0.1801x + 79.7, P < .01).

Figure 5 Changes in serum prostaglandin E2 levels and systolic blood pressure during modified ultrafiltration (MUF). In almost all cases, serum prostaglandin E2 level decreased and systolic BP increased during modified ultrafiltration.
