LCN2 and cervicitis: A comparison of the circulating concentrations of LCN2 according to the HPV status and the degree of cervical intraepithelial abnormalities (Figure 5) showed that the LCN2 level was higher in healthy HPV-positive than in healthy HPV-negative women, but the difference did not reach a statistical significance (median 39,374 (25th–75th percentile, 7778–41,147) and 15,540 (25th–75th percentile, 1237–32,872) pg/mL, respectively; P = 0.087).
