Michalski et al. (2019) demonstrated that children undergoing surgical correction of congenital heart disease with low pre-operative MAp44 concentration were more likely to suffer from post-operative complications such as systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), renal failure, multiorgan dysfunction (MODS), or low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS), while high MASP-1 and low MASP-3 were often associated with fatal outcome [35]. Here, MASP1 is linked to Renal insufficiency.
