Peter Stenvinkel, Peter Barany, Olof Heimbürger, Roberto Pecoits-Filho, Bengt Lindholm  Kidney International  Volume 61, Pages S103-S108 (May 2002) DOI: /j s80.19.x Copyright © 2002 International Society of Nephrology Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showing the outcome of 147 ESRD patients followed after start of renal replacement therapy. The patient material is divided into quartiles according to basal levels of interleukin-6. The survival rate is statistically different (Chi-square 27.5; P < ) between the groups.
