4. Figure 3
Plasma cytokine levels in renal tubule assist device (RAD)-treated patients. Each data point is an individual's baseline pre-RAD treatment level factored by the upper limit of normal for each cytokine. Upper limit of normal levels for G-CSF = 39 pg/mL, IL-6 = 12.5 pg/mL, IL-10 = 7.8 pg/mL, TNF-α= 15.6 pg/mL, and IL-8 = 31.2 pg/mL. The ratios are plotted on a log scale due to the wide spectrum of values. G-CSF, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor; IL, interleukin; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α.

Acute physiologic scores (APS) for each individual patient while the patient was in the intensive care unit. Patients discharged from the unit prior to day 7 do not have day 7 scores. Patient 026 had only a screening value since life support was discontinued 12 hours post-renal tubule assist device (RAD) therapy.
