Compared with the non-AKI group, all the endothelial biomarkers were significantly different in the AKI group (sTM [23.6 vs. 15.6 U/ml, P < 0.0001], E-selectin [65.5 vs. 46.2 ng/ml, P = 0.0497], PAI-1 [180.4 vs. 75.3 ng/ml, P = 0.018], and protein C [45.9 vs. 58.7 ng/ml, P < 0.0001]). The gene discussed is SERPINE1; the disease is acute kidney injury.
