The levels of PCT, PTX-3, and AMS in the DKA-AP group were significantly higher than those in the DKA group on days 1–6, and the level of 25(OH)D were significantly lower than that in DKA group (P < 0.05) (Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4). This evidence concerns the gene PTX3 and alkaline phosphatase measurement.
