Of note, the presence of CKD did not alter the significance of KIM-1 elevation in sepsis, as patients with sepsis and neither known nor documented CKD (225.3 vs. 112.3 pg/mL, p = 0.009, Figure 2E) still presented with raised serum KIM-1 on admission day. The gene discussed is HAVCR1; the disease is chronic kidney disease.
