At T0, serum concentrations of Resistin, NGAL, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-8 were significantly higher in patients with severe sepsis/septic shock compared to patients with uncomplicated sepsis (p = 4.5×10−5, p = 2.5×10−4, p = 0.002, p = 0.018 and p = 9.0×10−4 respectively, Mann Whitney) (Table 3). The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is Sepsis.
