2 Figure 1 Distribution of immune parameters in 230 stable outpatients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) treated with hemodialysis. Distributions of IL-2 (A), CH50 (B), T-cell number (C) and T-cell function (D) show moderate skew (skewness values ranging from to 0.33). These factors were associated with improved patient survival.

3 Figure 2 Distribution of immune parameters in 230 stable outpatients with ESRD treated with hemodialysis. Highly positively skewed distributions of circulating IL-1 (A), IL-6 (B), TNF-α (C) and IL-13 (D) levels were noted in this population (skewness values ranging from 1.25 to 3.3). Most patients’ values were within a lower range, with a minority having extremely elevated values. These factors were associated with increased patient mortality.
