LGALS3 and hydrops fetalis: As postulated by Pugliese et al., inflammatory factors such as Galectin-3, InterLeukin-1, and several other immunologic markers may be indicative for inflammation in ADHF but unfortunately, in this study, we were not able to measure the above mentioned markers; however, we use NLR, PLR, and RDW as indirect markers of inflammation in HF [21, 22, 24].
