Our results (Figure 2) demonstrate an increase in the concentrations of CXCL-9, IL-6, IL-2, IL-10, and IL-17A in the groups that received bites from B. atrox (AKI(+) and AKI(-)) when compared to the HD group, indicating the marked acute inflammatory response in these patients. This evidence concerns the gene CXCL9 and acute kidney injury.
