We did not find differences between the inlet and outlet data in the sepsis or non-sepsis group, except an increase in the level of ND2 after blood passage through the filter in non-sepsis group (inlet: 7.08 ± 0.40 log10 copies/mL; outlet: 7.24 ± 0.41 log10 copies/mL; P = 0.008) (Figure 3B). Here, MT-ND2 is linked to Sepsis.
