Interestingly, neither neutrophilic uPAR nor suPAR differed significantly between ICU patients with sepsis (n = 44) as compared to non-sepsis (n = 43), in line with prior findings [16], although there was a trend towards reduced neutrophilic uPAR and higher serum suPAR in sepsis (Fig. 2b). This evidence concerns the gene PLAUR and Sepsis.
